How do you manage all of your connections?

Question

In the digital age, it seems that we can connect to anyone we want, but it's a double-edged sword. With so many connections they are only surface level most of the time.

And the biggest problem is how we manage them.

It's easy to keep in touch and manage 20-30 people, how about 3000 on let's say LinkedIn?

Even 20-30 is hard to manage - I remind myself to connect with people by putting them in my calendar. Any one have better advice?

LinkedIn is typically dull. When they are an admirer or someone with whom you have recently interacted, you will receive the most responses to a post.
Either that or you use linkedIn in the same way you use Twitter, i.e. information blast.

If you really want to connect, PH launches are a great way to reach out and get support.

But would love to follow this thread and learn different perspective.

@kiracheung Currently, I use LeadDelta to categorize my connections with tags and later filter them + the inbox features are also great.

Answer

That's a good question. Honestly, I have been struggling with this. Because most people will ghost you, or most of them expect you to buy something they are trying to sell. However, I intentionally support the different posts of 1–5% of my connections. Yet, I will need to be more intentional with this, commenting or sharing on more than 50% of my connections.

@kiracheung this is a good idea…it’s hard to keep up with everyone you should!
