Wow Tami, congrats on your 4,000th post. BTW, I love your signature pix of your puppy doggies.
One tip that I have that has proven very help to me is:
I bought one of those very large desk monthly calendar pads. I go through our birthday list and I write everyone's birthday in the appropriate square for the entire year. When the list is updated I just add them to my calendar. Every month I go through the desk calendar pad, try to get all my cards made out for the month or just grab some from my stash, get them addressed and ready to mail.
