How to Manange Phone Call Messages in 4 Steps

(This is a Works-For-Me Wednseday Tip.)

I always have plenty of sticky notes and notepads by the phone. I also have a pack of pens in a cup on the desk. You’d think that would be sufficient.

Nope!

I have sticky notes everywhere – even found one under the table when cleaning up. Once I found one on my doggie’s tail!

And all those notebooks? I think I’ll always remember which notebook I put which messgae in. But nope again.

So I decided a new tactic was in order.

1. I bought a fat spiral-bound notebook.
2. Took a length of yarn (couldn’t find the string) and threaded one end through the spiral coils and knotted it.
3. Tied the other end to the table with the phone.
4. Found a pen and put it through the spiral coils too.

Viola! My messages are now written in one place. That works for me. For more Works-For-Me Wednesday tips go here. So far there are 103 entries.
