List 1- Thing 52
Jun. 15th, 2007 07:04 pm52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
My old system for keeping track of the books I mail out was so bad that I stopped using it.
So yesterday I created a spreadsheet with two sections, one for books I mail out and ones for books I receive from people. Now I can keep track of: title, BCID#, who I mailed it to, date mailed out, delivery confirmation number, reason for mailing (challenge, RABCK, bookring, etc.), and if it's been received/journaled or not. I can also keep track of what I've done with the books I've received (which might pressure me into reading more on my To Be Read bookshelf).
Now that it's created, I just need to be sure to keep it updated. I mailed a bunch of books out today and had fun entering in the information. I hope its usefulness overrides the tediousness of typing it all up each time. Time will tell.
