There are a plethora of articles out there advising us to write down things we are grateful for every day.
Here is an alternative: as long as we are going to be writing something down, we should write thank you notes to people we are grateful to. Keep a box of fold-over notes on your desk. Don’t overthink it. Just knock it out and mail it.
You could simply text it, Tweet it or email it. But the sentiment on a fold-over note lingers longer.
As it turns out, doing for others does something for you.
