Quickie Tip!

If you have a payment that you write a check out for every month, here's a tip that could help to remind you.

On your calendar or in your PDA, put an entry a few days before the check is due that reminds you to do it. For ex., say you need a mortgage or rent check to be paid every 3rd of the month. On the 30th or 31st of each month prior, write out "send mortgage". Often the early days of the new month 'sneak up' on us, and by the time we realize it's the 1st, it's too late for the item to make it on time. Just the visual reminder takes some of the pressure and anxiety out of our heads, too.
