Keeping records?

[miley cyrus fan]

i dont know how much ive sent out but i got my feedback memorized in my mind lol.

i got 4 rt's (not bad thou considering how many some people get)
3 pre prints(hey its better then nothing and only 3 isnt that bad)
and ive got 13 authentic responces( ive gotten more then one autograph everytime except once so i have a bit over 30)

i dont send very often so ya thats why i dont get that many

I keep my records on my calendar since I collect calendars

Hi!

Since I've sent out my first letter in 2006 (14 August 2006, to be exact), I've started to keep records and I'm still using the same notebook. In the book, I write the following:
- Name of person
- What I sent (letter, SASE, IRC, photo, etc.) and to which address
- Date sent
- Date received
- How much the postage to send it were (quite interesting, it seems the postage in South Africa for a small envelope went up quite a lot!)

Since I started using Fanmail.biz and sent out mail the "correct way" (SASE, SAE or IRC, etc.), I've never had a RTS.

Thanks!

lol I do that too...I just started doing it last March, I think. I just do it to record who I receive thru the mail every day. It's a very good idea because it's just...there. No need to pull up any excel or word documents that could be destroyed with viruses, right?

I have some in a day planner too. I usually do that to write down who I received from on specific days. It's kinda cool to check who I've received from when I'm having a bad day. Plus it helps me to remember to type it into the computer later on too. I'm never without my day planner, but I am sometimes without my computer.

I use OpenOffice.

I've made a tabel:
* Name of celeb
* Address used
* Date sent
* What I did send (IRC's, SAE, Pictures ...)
* Date received (coloured red if it was a failure or a RTS)

And I've made a list on notebook paper of people I intend to write to

Um well i had a very professional looking excel spreadsheet that i kept ontop of but i cant be bothered at the moment. ive probably sent out 20/30 requests and not recorded them. However I am going to start up again ;)

I just found a camp rock journal I got for Christmas that I am not going to ever find useful and since my calendar is black and the dates are small- I just marked them in there

I've been using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with tabs to separate TTM, IP, email and SFM requests.
