Perpetual calendars and buying in bulk

Wine – Consider purchasing a case or two of your favorite wine so you limit time spent going to the store.

Gifts – Ordering on-line saves time or purchase extras and keep them in a Rubbermaid Container. You can keep a selection of cards, tissue and gift wrap in the container too.

Birthday Cards – Create a perpetual calendar with everyone’s birthday noted for each month. Create a reoccurring 30 minute monthly appointment in your calendar: review the perpetual calendar, write the cards and post them.

Thank-you Cards – Purchase thank-you cards by the box or have your own business cards created. Keep a roll of stamps in your office for quick and easy posting.
