Use this calendar to find all kinds of reasons and topics for writing. Here are some easy goals to set for yourself in your personal and professional note-writing. Pick at least one and go for it!

Five Easy Goals for Personal Correspondence

1. Write one note each week to someone who’s not expecting it. Surprise a friend, former teacher, or neighbor with a simple message of connection.

2. Send a card for one April-themed occasion that isn’t a holiday.
   Check our April Calendar for Note and Letter Writers. Other ideas include:

   • April 7: National No Housework Day – send a chuckle

   • April 10: National Siblings Day – reach out to a sibling or friend who feels like one

   • April 30: National Honesty Day – share a heartfelt truth or memory
     
     

3. Try a new format or style.
   Send a postcard, include a photo or pressed flower, or write a short poem or haiku.

4. Write to someone grieving – even months later.
   Let someone know you haven’t forgotten their loss. Mention the loved one by name.

5. Buy a new sheet of stamps and use them all in April.
   Choose a design you love. Let each stamp be a reminder to send a note.

Five Easy Goals for Professional Correspondence

1. Send one weekly note of appreciation to a colleague or contact.
   Thank someone for their influence, help, or example.

2. Welcome or encourage a new hire or professional connection.
   Make someone new feel seen and valued.

3. Thank a mentor or former boss who made a difference.
   Reflect briefly on their impact and say thank you. Tell them what you’re up to.

4. Send a client or customer a note without a sales agenda.
   A sincere, handwritten note just to say you're grateful can stand out.

5. Refresh your note-writing tools.
   Buy business-appropriate notecards, stamps, or pens. Keep them handy.

Heartspoken Tip:

Think beyond birthdays, thank-yous, and sympathy cards. Unexpected notes of kindness, encouragement, and remembrance are the most meaningful.
