Keeping track of important contacts without letting your CRM become another chore?

I’ve been exploring this problem while building ContQuest.

Between conversations, follow-ups, and opportunities...

It’s easy to lose track of people you genuinely want to stay connected with.

I’m curious how others handle this today.

Do you use a traditional CRM, spreadsheets, notes, or just rely on memory?

What’s the most frustrating part of your current workflow, and what would make it genuinely easier?
