Change 20 - Write Notes

I have decided to write notes - thank you notes and letters of encouragement - to the people in my life.

Yesterday, I received a thank you note in the mail.  I was impressed that the sender took the time to write me, considering that what I had done for them was ‘nothing much’ in my eyes.  Receiving the thank you note made me realize that I’m doing a poor job of encouraging others.  So, from now on, I’ll work harder to send notes to people.

For the most part, I’ll send old fashioned cards or letters, but in come cases, I’ll just send an email.  I have several people that I need to thank who helped me on a recent project.  Instead of just telling them thanks, perhaps a note in the mail will show them just how thankful I really am for their help.

What about you?  Do you send thank you notes - or letters of encouragement?  Why or why not?

Change 18 - Find Time To Read

I have decided to find the time to read one book every week.

I love to read, but I have been so busy lately, I haven’t had the time to sit down and open a good book.  I’ve been working very hard to delegate some of the work that others can do, and I plan to spend a few minutes, each day, reading.

This week, I’ll read and review The Smartest 401k Book You’ll Ever Read: Maximize Your Retirement Savings…the Smart Way!

It’s been sitting on my desk for two months - and it’s about time that I read it.

I’ll alternate between works of fiction and non-fiction.
