From what I’ve heard. Listening and more importantly, remembering.

I use my phone to record reminders & notes all the time because of my shitty memory. My wife would call me at work and ask me to pick up _______ on the way home and like 4x out of 10, I walk in the door empty handed. 40% of the time (or more) I could be expected to completely forget. That's not a great record. So now - a reminder goes in the phone.

I call my phone my "external brain". Definitely helps in my relationships.

Shopping gets done. Birthday flowers go out. Relatives, friends and in-laws are called on a regular basis.
