Why I still write thank you notes
Know it sounds old fashioned but I hand write thank you notes after gifts, dinner invites, job interviews, everything. Takes 10 minutes. My kids think I'm crazy but people remember it. Had a hiring manager tell me 3 years later that my note was the reason they picked me over another candidate. Little things like this separate men from boys. It's about showing respect and gratitude. Don't let the world tell you this stuff doesn't matter.
This is solid parenting right here. My kids see me doing it and even though they think it's weird now, it's sinking in. Old fashioned isn't a bad thing.
