It is something I will never forget and I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 10 years old at the time and I came home from school and my nanny said she had something to show me. She brought me over to my 3-year-old sister and said, “watch this”.
It happened when I was at a previous job. There was a bunch of us from my department out for lunch. About 10 minutes later, a group of people from a neighboring department at the company arrived and sat at the table next to us.
I want to live forever! Ok, now that I have your attention. Of course, that is a ridiculous statement, even for me. None of us can or will live forever, that is part of life.
At least to me, in this uber-connected world we live in, they seem to be a bit of a lost art. Nowadays, many people will thank others verbally or via text or perhaps email. I can’t say I was much better at using them either…
I have had several recent requests from readers and friends on writing a blog post about how to plan your week. One even went so far as to say that it would be helpful to others since I am “obsessed with planning.”
