Finally hit a year of nomad life and my biggest lesson was about visas

I see so many people just winging their tourist visa stays, but after a close call in Thailand last month, I learned it really matters. I was on my second 60 day extension and almost overstayed because I lost track... a local cafe owner actually pointed it out to me. Now I use a simple calendar alert for every entry stamp. How do you guys keep track of your travel dates without it taking over your brain?

Honestly, that sounds like overkill. I've been moving around for years and never once set an alert. You just remember it, like any other important date. I check my passport stamp when I first get to a place and make a mental note. It's not that hard. People used to do this with paper maps and no phones. Relying on a calendar notification seems like a great way to get lazy and forget how to actually pay attention. My friend just writes the date on his hand with a pen. Simple.
