A few days ago someone in my company reminded me of a thank-you note I sent to her several years ago. I actually remembered that note and why I sent it. After I hung up the phone I stopped what I was doing for a few minutes and thought about that.
I send out quite a few thank-you notes, but not nearly enough. As I think about the people in my company who work tremendously hard, our customers who choose to spend their hard-earned money with us instead of someone else, and other people who are exceptionally kind or helpful to me in many different ways, I realize how important it is to send out more thank-you notes so that those people know how much their hard work and human kindness are appreciated.
It's a priority, but one that too easily gets pushed aside by the tyranny of the urgent.
One of the things I decided as a result of that brief conversation was to un-jumble some of my priorities.
