It takes up some time, but you are so on point - it reminds me why I do what I do, and it makes for a good start to my day knowing I might make someone's day with my note. I recommend the practice!Krystinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944803785430563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-88915779065258859772016-10-03T11:35:02.444-04:002016-10-03T11:35:02.444-04:00A design-minded co-worker recently designed an awe...A design-minded co-worker recently designed an awesome postcard for me to print and use -- I've now scheduled 20 minutes at the beginning and end of each week to put them to good use!

And to hold each other accountable by writing the names of the people we contact to share the following month at our regular DR meeting.

I try to write five notes each morning. I failed miserably this week. Determined to do better next week! Thanks for the reminder. And oh, for the record, I HAVE lived in Duluth and love that town.

It is a great way to start and end your week. Our development office does "Thankful Thursday" - every Thursday at 11 am our team gets together to write thank you cards to donors, volunteers, etc. Sometimes we will even send a special card from the whole team. I love handwritten notes and have personally started doing them once a week for my friends and family. I take 10 minutes on Friday to write a special note and then send them out.
