Happy Holidays - and a New CRM Workshop!

While details aren't 100% finalized yet, ARMA Calgary is hosting another CRM workshop at the end of January, with yours truly again facilitating it.  The last workshop, held in April, was very successful - several attendees passed CRM exams following the workshop, and two attendees went on to pass Part 6 and get their CRM designation.  It was a day of great learning!  Details about the January workshop should be coming out in the new year, so if you're reading this ahead of time, you've got advance knowledge!

Because the last week has slowed down just a little bit, I've been cleaning up my email.  It's a chore, because they've been piling up for about 2 years (since the last time I did a big clean up) and... please don't judge me... I have thousands of emails to individually check and make a decision on (transitory, transitory, official, transitory...).  I'll be dreaming about it in my sleep tonight.  But it sure is a good feeling to have it done, if I can finish it today... I'm hoping.  I'm also trying to set myself up for success in the new year; I'm setting aside time on my calendar for email management and I've created a couple of rules and keyboard shortcuts that make it quick and easy to move messages to their appropriate folders.  Maybe next December I'll share how well this is working. :)

I wish for you a Merry Christmas, a wonderful break, however long that might be, and a spectacular New Year.  See you in 2018!
