With the advent of the Internet and social networks, there are more friends and therefore, expanding the circle of acquaintances, the quality of friendship with each individual is lost. Stop reading for a minute and try to remember the birthdays of your friends. Few people remembered? This is because, relying on reminders, we dump unnecessary information for storage in the brain.
However, my birthday is remembered by many people with whom I have not even communicated for a long time or the relationship was only working. And it was possible to achieve this by accident, by several methods. It's not funny, but I got a job on my birthday (and started working on the day of admission), which was notified to the newly minted team. And now, every year I "put down" for two reasons at once – another year in the organization and a birthday. This is the first "anchor", thanks to which even the management knows about this day.
Therefore, the advice is: tie your DR to an important date in the organization (the day of the product launch, the day of obtaining an important license, an important event at the head, for example, I have the birthday of the director and mom on the same day – I never forgot to congratulate anyone). Since we produce newspapers and magazines, the day of printing is our holiday, it came again on my birthday :), so the second anchor fixes the date even more strongly (I'm silent about the Old-new year).
Tip: look at what is celebrated on your birthday, what happened in history and fix it for yourself. And now the most important thing is to choose your chip and support it for many years. And if the chip is successful, then they will remember it and will wait. A step of 365 days is enough to miss her. The trick can relate to both food and party decoration. The annual strip bingo game, an evening in top hats, planting another tree, visiting a cave with a barbecue. There are thousands of options. Thus, you will create a tradition in your circle, which will be fixed on a certain day – your birthday. There are two rules – the complexity of independent implementation and the stability of execution, and then everyone will not only wait, but also prepare.
Write in the comments how unusual your friends spend DR, why do you go to the holiday to Petya, but do not go to Cola? And of course, what is your personal trick? I almost forgot, every year, on January 13, I make a real pilaf, in a cast-iron cauldron, which I wrap in a blanket so that everything gets hot. And then I feed this pilaf to friends and colleagues. It's very simple :)
