Yes, I keep a paper and phone version, but now I have a mix. Some are in both, some in the diary only and some in the phone only. I usually have to check both when doing the Christmas cards, but can't bring myself to go completely high tech and dump the diary!
For addresses I am totally paper, for phone numbers I am more electronic. If I had to choose one or the other it would be old-school paper for me. I love the composition of this process for you.
@jb030958 Thanks Jennie. I guess this is a paper backup as I still rely on the phone and contacts list on the computer. @kjarn I thank you and it's probably smarter that way, but a pain in the neck to have to look up every email address and type it in and look up every phone number and punch it in so I'll do both. One or the other will suffer as I forget to back each up. @jamibann I actually made a spread sheet for Christmas cards. I can print it off and then check off as I send a card and update as I receive one. I copy that back to the spread sheet so it's ready for next year. @johnfalconer Yeah, mostly I'm electronic, but I realize my contacts to always sync to all the devices. @bkbinthecity I agree. It's just keeping them all up to date. This is a start. @wakelys I saved my mother's book for awhile, but she had several so none was complete. @grammyn Thank you Katy. I guess I'll try to do both and try to keep the all up to date.
I probably need to clarify that I also have everything electronic too, all email addresses and phone numbers are just the press of a button away on my devices
@thewatersphotos Yes, I realized one day when the power was out and my phone was almost dead that if I wanted to call someone on my land line (which was working) I wouldn't know the number, as my memory has gone out too. I buy my pencils at the dollar store. Still the erasers don't keep up with the lead. @olivetreeann Mine all aren't synced yet.
