Shortcuts for the Lazy/Busy/Disorganized

Nat · 01-05-2012, 04:46 PM

I have attempted to google this but I'm wondering if anybody has had luck with this:

I need to send my thank you cards still from the holidays. What I would LIKE is to send pretty snail mail thank you cards using the Internet. Mainly because I have a terrible time doing thank you cards. Any suggestions?

What shortcuts or finds have you discovered to make your life more functional?

Do you mean email cards Nat? Or something different. I do like email cards, mostly because the paper ones get thrown away most times. LOL With the exception of a sentimental few, that I know anyway. But some think it's tacky, sigh I'm just not one of them.And they can be so funny and artistic!

As far as organizing tips I heard this from a woman that was a professional life organizer, and it works for me. "To keep all those little chores from piling up and becoming overwhelming, follow this rule: If it takes a minute or less to do, do it now."

Sounds so simple, but it encompasses a lot, and has big pay offs.

I look forward to reading everyone's tips.....

try here: https://www.sendoutcards.com/about/

There seem to be a few sights but they all reference back to SendOut. I've never tried it though so can't vouch for anything.

I probably should not admit this...BUT...

When I know I am going to be wearing a jacket or vest or something like that, and am sure I will not be taking it off...I only iron the front of my shirt.

Lazy? Yes. Like to iron? No.
