I've always loved WFMW hosted by Rocks In My Dryer and I thought I would jump in and give it a try.
My tip has to do with internet shopping. I love how easy it is to shop for Christmas gifts on the internet. You get to avoid the crowded chaos at the stores and, if you're like me, you can even shop late at night after everyone else is asleep. But keeping up with what I've bought and when it is expected, etc. can be such a hassle. I've seen all sorts of cute little log sheets where you can enter the website name and what you bought etc. etc. but that always seems like such a pain. So I set up two email folders in Outlook. The first one is titled "Shopping" and the other is a subfolder titled "Received." Each time I purchase something online and get that confirmation email, I put those emails and anything else pertaining to that order into the "Shopping" folder. Then when an item is received, I move the emails pertaining to that item to the "Received" folder. Once every couple of days I go through the Shopping folder to see what items are there that I'm expecting. If it seems to be taking longer than expected, I have all of the information there to follow up with the place I purchased the item and, if they sent a shipping confirmation, I have tracking information handy to track the package.
This has made keeping up with my internet purchases so much easier! It definitely Works for Me! Hop on over to Rocks In My Dryer for other WFMW entries... |
