Hey everyone,
If you’re reading this post, it means you’re somewhat
serious about the New Year’s resolution to send cards to people you care about.
Do me a favor and give yourself a quick pat on the back from me. Starting is
half the battle. Actually, it’s more
important to start, than to succeed. People that start something are usually
the ones that end up finishing strong. I tend to procrastinate, just like
everyone else. But, just like with anything, if I tell myself, just start….just
run for 5 mins, just workout for 5 mins, just clean for a minute, I build
momentum to keep going forward. Then when the time is up, its not so bad. You
can keep going more…
That’s exactly what we’re going to do this week. We’re going
to start strong. That’s all you need to do for this week.
I know the New Year’s doesn’t start until a month from now,
but we want to actually hit the ground running as soon as the new year hits.
So, preparation is the key here.
For this week#1, and #2, get the addresses and birthdays of
friends and family. I suggest using Google Documents. They let you share information
between different people as a live document that people can edit. You can also
use it from your phone, computer, etc.
It doesn’t matter what you use. Use a system that works for
you. Make sure to have this information in a spreadsheet:
Name:
Birthday:
Anniversary:
Address:
If you have Facebook, under Home Page-> Events->
Birthdays, you can actually find out people’s birthdays and export it to Excel
or jot down the birthdays. *This only works if the person has a facebook
account and has updated their birthdays*
So, get started…I actually ended up sending out a few
birthday cards already when I realized, I had the address and all I had to do
was mail the card!
