Get ahead of the Game

I have good intentions but often fail to get birthday and anniversary cards in the mail BEFORE the special event.  I always have a stash of cards on hand because I create cards as a hobby so I don't have a good excuse except that the day to day to do lists prevents me from executing this important task.   This year I am taking a different approach:

1)  I will buy all the birthday cards I need for the coming year this week
2)  I'll review my "Birthday calendar" for the upcoming month the last week of this month
3)  Pull cards from my existing STASH
4)  Address envelopes
5)  Add the date the card needs to be mailed in the area where I place the stamp
6)  Seal the envelope UNLESS I need to write a personal note closer to the mailing date
7)  Place the cards with the bills to be mailed (yes, we still mail several bills)
8)  Put cards in mailbox on Sunday
Viola!  No missed birthdays or anniversaries!  Less Stress
