My wife thinks I'm old fashioned but I always write a real thank you note by hand when someone does something for me. Takes 5 minutes and people actually remember it. In this world where nobody does anything the old school way anymore it sets you apart. It's about showing real gratitude and honor. I think more young men should do this.
Respect. I do the same thing and I don't care what anyone thinks about it. A handwritten note actually means something, especially in 2024 when everyone just texts.
I've been doing this for years too. There's something about taking the time to sit down and write that shows you actually care. Totally agree with you here.
Not old fashioned at all. I started doing this after my kids were born because I wanted them to see that saying thanks actually takes effort and thought. Sets a good example.
Not old fashioned at all. I do the same thing and my kids have actually started noticing. Handwritten notes just hit different than a text message. Your wife will come around when she sees the impact.
My kids think it's cool when they see me writing notes by hand. Seems like a lost art but it definitely means more than an email. Stick with it.

My wife used to roll her eyes at this too until she got a handwritten note from my dad. Now she gets why it matters. There's something personal about it that a text will never have.
