YEA!

I am a latecomer - we catch the commuter train into Chicago verrrry early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow at this time, I will be nearing my hotel!

See, multi-tasking is not my friend. LOL! I'll try to do better next year.

Less than 365 days left until the start of your next National Conference!

Seriously, you know the time will fly by.

Here's what I do. First I type up my notes from the workshops. I take note in a weird shorthand that makes sense while I can still remember everything but is complete gibberish six months later. Typing them up also helps to set the ideas in my head.

Second, I think about what could have gone better. Was there something I forgot? Was there a place I meant to go? Did someone suggest something about a way to pack that I found brilliant?

Now is the time to write those things down. You think you'll remember, but you won't. Well, you'll probably remember when you get to NC next year and someone says that they always (or have started) . . . whatever. But, that's not really going to help much. Is it?

I have already started a file for NC 2010 on my computer. One of the few things in there is a file titled, "Remember To." That's where I put my notes. If you do this, too, you'll be really glad next year when you start to get ready.

BTW, one of my suggestions is always to tip the housekeeping staff nightly. We came back after the room had been straightened from that first night and found a very sweet thank you note from our housekeeper. It even had a smiley face drawn on it. It was good to know we'd brightened someone's day, and we know the resulting note brightened ours.
