A calendar just for birthdays and anniversaries. Make the event a yearly occurring. Add the person's name and year of event (birth, marriage, etc). Set up Tasker to put an un-dismissable event in the phone notification bar on the day of an event from this calendar.
Some people I know hate on this saying "it doesnt count because I didn't really remember the birthday myself". I would argue it counts more because I know my memory sucks and I set up a complex system of reminders for the people I care about. Now an increasing number are asking me to share my calendar and are leeching off me.
All of this, but especially that last panel is delightfully reminiscent of the wonderful How to ADHD, right down to "Brains" being her collective nickname for her viewers 😁❤️

Take it a step further and take a day to schedule the texts ;), most messagers can send messages on a specific day/time for you

300 days prior: Happy Birthday! I hope you and your wife have an amazing week on your trip to Europe!
Today: divorced and not going anywhere.

That is an emotional casualty I am prepared to accept

It’s great except I keep forgetting to set up peoples birthdays 🫠, or I’ve let other reminders build up too much 🫨

A certain definition of care
> I do something, that I have not done yet.
< Remember it?
> No, I write it down.

I made myself a food schedule, there's levels beyond even your boringest dreams.
