Hi everybody, I'm Randy Dean, popularly known as the Email Sanity Expert, and today I'd like to share with you a little life hack for my eNewsletter Timely Tips that may help you with an easy way to remember how many days a month has. This was one I shared with my 9-year-old daughter a couple days ago when she said, "Dad, is there an easy way to remember how many days a month has?" And I said, "Why dear, yes there is." For some of you, this is an oldie but a goodie. But for those of you that don't know this tip, this is a very handy tip, literally. Here's what you do. Just make a fist, and when you make the fist, watch this. January, February, March, April, May, June, July. Go back to the first knuckle. August, September, October, November, December. As you can see, the peaks of the knuckles are the 31-day months, And the valleys or troughs are the months that have less than 31 days. It's a really easy way to remember how many days your month has. Use this tip, have fun, share it with your kids.
