Remembering Hearts Day…
There is nothing more magical than spending Valentine’s Day with your true love. Taking them out to dinner, having a sumptuous dessert, showering them with gifts and then having some wonderful alone time where the two of you can grow closer. But there’s nothing worse than forgetting it. With life’s hectic schedule, sometimes these holidays sneak up on you. Here are a few tips on how to remind you.
Step 1:
Place a note on your computer. All of us are so “wired” these days we are always in front of our personal computer. Place a note right on the edge of your monitor telling yourself when Valentine’s Day is and what tasks you have to complete for the one you love.
Step 2:
Have your best friend call you. Tell him that you’ll buy him a drink or do a small favor if he simply reminds you when Valentine’s Day is in the days leading up to it.
Step 3:
Sign up for a web service. There are many out there (see Resources below) and many allow you to input important dates like birthdays or holidays. Then they remind you via email as they are approaching or on the day.
Step 4:
Set your PDA, cell phone or other electronic device that you strap to your hip with a schedule alarm. These are obviously specific to each piece of technology you own. But many allow you to input schedules which will alarm on the appropriate day or time.
Step 5:
Beg dear old mom. After all that’s what moms are for. They do the little intangibles that make our lives just a little bit less stressful. But since it is Valentine’s Day, send your mom some flowers while you’re at it. After all, she gave you unconditional love long before that girl in your graduate school class.
