Keep a pack of Post-it notes in your purse and when you pick up a magazine that looks interesting, stick a post-it note to the front of it. This way, you'll be able to quickly jot down a website name, a short recipe, etc. and you will not have to dig through your purse looking for something to write on. You could also just jot down the website address to the magazine itself & perhaps find the article/recipe on their website, but this doesn't work in all cases.
Sometimes if the magazine is an older issue, they don't mind you taking it home, but you must ask, of course. This is great when the whole magazine is filled with lots of good info.
Other times, you can ask the receptionist to make a copy of the page for you. Depending on how nice they are, they usually don't mind as long as they're not busy.
So go now & put that pack of Post-it notes in your purse!
Happy Reading!
Oh i used to do this, Becka. I recalled one of my OB-visits 8 years ago, I befriended a staff receptionist by bringing in a tall cup of Starbucks capuccino coffee for her everytime I come in my early morning appointments. Whenever I find a magazine that had a lot of good stuffs, I would ask nicely if I could borrow it and return on my next visit. Most of the time, she would let me have it. And I keep a small notebook in my purse too. Now I levelled up with my android phone in hand. It has better capabilities. Notes, Grocery lists, Recipes, Camera are all just a click away.
ReplyDeleteYes, this post is a little outdated, isn't it? Nowadays, we can just text it to ourselves, put it in a note or a task, or even an alarm on our phones. Just might take a little longer, especially if you're writing out a recipe. ; )
