Write it down

You have to plan for empathy or else you are never going to live up to your good intentions.

My husband and I just got an on-the-fridge weekly planner. Because there are a dozen things to manage between sports and meal prep and grocery trips.

And think about it: you run your life and your calendar invites through your phone, because you know how easy it is to forget.

It is time that we put that same degree of intention towards caring for our people

So here is today’s tip:

Do you know someone who is going through a hard time? Put a reminder into your calendar to send them a text or give them a call next Wednesday.

Do you know someone who lost a parent this year? Go ahead and start a reminder for Mother or Father’s Day 2021 so you can send them a note.

We schedule what matters. And people matter. Write it down.
