How to Be a More Thoughtful Person
3 Practical Tips for Busy People
My sister is a ridiculously thoughtful person. Last month, she made soap in the shape of cute little animals and sent them to 20 of her friends. The month before that, she hand-crafted cards in the shape of suits and dresses. She also wrote a touching letter to an elderly gentleman who happily became her pen pal. And she’s single-handedly responsible for all the Zoom family get-togethers we’ve had during this pandemic.
You guessed right! She is, in fact, Superwoman.
Why am I telling you this? Because I’m the complete opposite of my little sister. I forget to call my friends. I’m not great at crafts (although I can draw a mean stick figure!). And I’d forget my own anniversary if my calendar didn’t remind me of it.
If this sad story sounds familiar, don’t despair! The following three tips are an easy, painless way to be a little more thoughtful with the people you love. No glue gun required!
Tip #1: Google Calendar is Your Friend
How does Google Calendar help me to be more thoughtful? It acts like my extra memory storage. It remembers anniversaries, memorials, and other meaningful events so I don’t have to. You don’t have to use Google, of course, any calendar app will do.
