I encountered a similar problem as the one mentioned. Finding an address book that had room for email addresses, cell phones, birthdays, anniverisaries, etc. was all but impossible. Then, in stepped my own personal Superman, my husband suggested index cards and a small box. They are inexpensive, can be easily decorated if you are the creative type, and a card can easily be removed and information can easily be added or subtracted. So far it has been the perfect solution for me. Hope this helps. Melissas last blog post..Indie Fixx Giveaway!

ooohhh, I love organizing and all things organized!! I keep all my contacts in outlook and their birthdays in the outlook calendar. I have my iphone synced with this program and so have all my contacts, their phone #'s addresses, emails, birthdays, names of children, dogs, cats, and lic. plate #'s (not really!) with me at all times. I have also programmed our fav. take out phone #'s in my computer and phone cause sometimes when you are on your way home, you want to have dinner there waiting!

I’m a mess when it comes to organization. I just use an old fashioned address book for my family and friends. I like some of these ideas you suggest. I have a customer base taht I need to keep track of and right now, most of the info is online and the hard copies of their profiles are stashed in a shoe box. Sophisticated, I know. I’m trying to figure out a way to keep it all together and save space as well. I have limited space.

I have a leather address book/organizer that I have had for about 10 years. I LOVE it! I also go through many loose leaf notebooks. I also have this address book that I have had for about 15 years, it is falling apart and about 7 years ago I transferred all the stuff to the leather one, but I just can't get rid of it. A tip-use pencil in your address books. I used to use pen but as people moved and added people to their lives it is just easier to erase then to cross out or rip out. I do use my ical and my address book in the computer, but only as a last resort. I have found I retain info much easier if I write it down at first.

For most addresses, we have some cheapy CD-ROM program we picked up somewhere---I like that it prints out labels at the holidays so I don't have to handwrite 100+ addresses. I have not come up with a good system for those 'other' phone numbers (service people we use---like plumbers, electricians, etc; or casual neighbors). Those are scribbled on the front of the giant yellow phone book in our kitchen. Fairly Odd Mothers last blog post..Trying To Keep The Peace

I'm definitely not the greatest at organizing my addresses. Every year I rip the return address labels off of the Christmas cards I receive with the intention of writing them in my address book. And every year I have to send out a mass email to get the addresses again because I have misplaced the itty-bitty papers. I definitely need to be better about it. I do love the Rolodex idea though--super cute and you can personalize it the way you want. Christies last blog post..FA

I use Outlook to manage my addresses and important info. I keep a back up of it and it stays in the safe. But i find that since my computer and phone are next to each other that typing it out is easier for me. And I can read it.

Oh boy! I have all my phone numbers and addresses in the contact list on Outlook 2007. All birthdays and other are in my franklin planner. I cannot seem to keep a printed copy of my numbers nor a digital copy of my calendar. For some reason one I can digitally update and the other I cannot. I can’t tell you why… but this way has worked for me for 4 years. Before which I used a paper address book in my franklin planner that had many crossed out entries and christmas card envelopes stuffed in the pages because I had not yet updated the info.

I actually have that exact MomAgenda (in pink)!! and you know what? Its just plastic sleeves with a label tag on each. A glorified binder. It works, though. thatgirlblogss last blog post..DWTS: Who will go home?
