Duly Noted

If you’re the average family, you’re like multiple ships passing in the night. Due to differing schedules, you may not spend as much time together as you would like. Don’t let that hinder your communication. I am a note taker and note “poster” by nature, just ask my family. They are apt to walk into a room and find a note to remind them of something, a request or a question that needs an answer. I usually use notes when the issue is one that affects the entire family and I don’t want or need to email or call each person individually. I place it in a conspicuous place where everyone will have the chance to see it and when we all get together, we discuss it. Just be sure that you don’t use notes in a negative way or as your only mode of communication.
