Is the effort knowing, when to reach out yourself instead of a tool reminding you? Or is the effort about spending time with a person?

I use a running tracker, but I still have to run myself.

And how often do people reach out on their own? Often it’s seeing a post in a feed or some other trigger. Is that more authentic?

The willingness to add a reminder and spend time shows that you care about a person.

I agree, and many others have seen it this way as well.
If it's just a reminder, why not use any of the other reminder tools? (Because it's not)
It looks like you are trying to trick your person about when you sent your message. Because of an introverted personality concern? Seems like a weird use of a timer to me.
