It's Like an Evil Snail

So, if you got that reference in the title than you probably share my addiction to The Office. Well, perhaps addiction is too strong a word, but I do have it in my queue on Hulu. There is no big lesson here, just a line that struck me a extremely funny... and when I retold it to my wife I realized that I was probably alone in that feeling.

But, just to add something of worth to this blog, let me share a new goal of mine that I would encourage you to adopt as well.

Hand

Written

Notes

I wrote a couple this last week, as I felt the need to communicate something that was very important and I did not have the opportunity to do it face-t0-face. I could have called or sent an email, but there is just something about a hand written note that speaks to me. Perhaps I am alone in this too, but I somehow doubt it. In today's fast paced world of information overload I think people appreciate the fact that you slowed down and intentionally became less efficient in order to communicate with them.

I am not saying that I am giving up email and going back to snail mail; the rise of postage will assure that if nothing else. But, every so often when you have something important to communicate... try a note and see how well it works.
