Hi Jules,
Here's what my note on this topic would say and I would include the Secret Santa printable that you'll find as you scroll down in this issue. Here goes:
Dear _____,
Christmas (or your birthday) is approaching and I've been thinking about you. This year,
I've had minimalism on my mind and I need your help to figure out what I can give you that will be something you will be able to use and enjoy.
I've included a quick form for you to
fill out. Would you mind filling it out, taking a photo of it, and texting it back to me? My cell is 555-555-555. It would be a huge help to me!
Alternately, if you would like me to
simply send money to fund a trip, to help pay a bill, or to donate to your favorite charity, please indicate that when you reply.
Thank you for your help!
Jules
GON Reader Question #2
Organizing
Protein Shake Bags
Do you have any ideas on how to store bags of protein
shakes?
-- A GON Reader
Response from Maria Gracia
I'm assuming you're asking about bags of protein powder that you'd use to make protein shakes? If so, they should be stored in a cool, dry environment, such as inside the pantry, a cabinet, or in a drawer.
If you keep them in their original
packaging, I would keep them in a divided storage container, to keep them neat and organized. Sort them by flavor.
Alternately, you can pour them into mason jars. Clearly label the front of the jars with what is inside them and and be sure to tape any needed preparation instructions to the back of the jar.
GON Reader Question #3
Keeping Desktop Apps Organized
Hi Maria,
How do you keep apps on a desktop computer organized? I can't find anything on mine when I need it.
Sincerely,
