I sometimes meet up with my friends at a cozy cafe that has a small garden or a nice terrace with plantes, a small pond with koi fish, and some good music. Saturday morning around 9 am is perfect time to catch up with friends, have a coffee or a herbal tea, and enjoy some sweet cakes.

Leaving a text message help the peopl to reminds the the task and do it definitely particularly when you are working at an office.
