Romance Planning With RTM
andrew.wilkie says:
All,
I thought I'd just let you know how I have used RTM the last week.
Regular romance is good, certainly if you are in a relationship! Recenlty I read an article in a newspaper. Listing 10 things you can do for your partner.
Rather than keep the article I emailed myself/RTM the suggestions. Each suggestion becoming a new 'task' each month. 1 task per month.
I set the deadline to "month" i.e March. I didn't know but RTM has set the date for the 1st of each "month". That suits me since I use RTM and my email calendar extensively. This will give me time to book that weekend away.
I even tagged it Romance Planner.
That way, each month I am reminded to do something for my partner. Thus she has almost a year of lovin'. Thus if she does..so do I :)
Happy Travels

Just how I like my romance.
Cold and calculated.
Pure and premeditated.

athyder, you must be single. After being married 22 years I can tell you there is nothing cold or calculating about planning for romance. When you move beyond courtship to marriage, real life has a way of crowding romance out if you don't plan for it. Excellent tip.

Perfect suggestion, thanks andrew!
Never thought about using RTM for that...

This is a great tip. I plan on doing something similar. Thanks for this!

Doesn't using a task list to remind you to romance your partner take the, well, *romance* out of it? ;-)
Keonie's memsaab.com link is just very good sense for relationships. Acting in the ways it suggests will help to ensure that *romance* stays alive in the relationship. And when you get a bit older, any tool that helps you remember such things is a real help. At least that's what our 45+ years together says to us! Thanks Keonie and Andrew!

Just an update to this.
I've now got these reminders to repeat every 10 months.
Repeat: every 10 months.
That way every year and month I'm reminded to do something. I don't have a reminder set for her birthday month or Christmas as I can then let my creative juices run wild.
Sorry never could find the articles again
