Yesterday as I was going through my files, I found a present I'd given myself.
A few years ago after reading Getting Things Done, I started a tickler file -- that's a way that many people organize papers that they'll need for a specific date in the future. I've come to love using it. And yesterday I remembered one more reason why.
I came across a file folder, next to my December folder, full of Christmas mailing stuff. It had sparkly mailing labels with a gaudy holiday theme (love those), package labels, cards, and [big drum roll here . . . ] envelopes that I'd already addressed. Score!
Apparently last year when I was addressing envelopes (the memory of this comes back to me slowly), I decided to make three sets of envelopes -- it's not really that much harder than making one set. And this year, when all I have to do is write the letters, slap on the stamps, and send the letters with love. That's the fun part, really. Ahhh . . .
