Professional network

I gave my weak ties a reason to remember me.

Less networking. More continuity.

Most of my best work comes through people I see only occasionally: former clients, conference friends, alumni, and collaborators. 11s helps me carry the small details that make a casual chat worth having.

The tension

My network was wide, but my memory was shallow.

I could recognize a name and still forget the project, the personal update, or the offer I had made. That made follow-ups feel either generic or overdue.

  1. Chapter 01

    I saved the thread, not just the contact.

    After a conference chat, I wrote down the client problem Samir was exploring, the community event he cared about, and the article we disagreed about.

    A reason to reconnect

  2. Chapter 02

    I let context create the opening.

    The context bank reminded me that I had just finished a related service-design sprint. 11s gave me an opener that was timely, relevant, and easy to make my own.

    A message with an actual point of view

  3. Chapter 03

    I kept the relationship warm after the event.

    When Samir introduced me to a founder, I logged the connection and sent the resource I promised. The next meeting started with momentum instead of polite reintroduction.

    A network that compounds

Support

Offer useful context

“I just finished a similar sprint—would a short synthesis template be useful to compare notes?”

Support

Make the next connection easy

“Who else at the meetup is thinking about this problem from a different angle?”

Memory to carry forward · 5 weeks ago

Post-conference follow-up

Samir was testing a smaller design-system team after a reorg and wanted examples from complex internal products.

What changed

I no longer have to choose between being casual and being prepared.

The details help me show up like I remember the person, not like I am mining a contact list. That makes introductions, collaborations, and light follow-ups feel natural.
