When putting names into an Address Book, write them in pencil. This way when an address or name is changed all you have to do is erase! The Address Book will serve you longer and save you money.
I noticed that using pencil and even going on the computer to update information from time to time saves paper and lots of time. Also using pencil is a cheaper alternative to pen and if you really think on this, you dont have to go through making headaches from tossing unnecessary items in the landfill. Lets all be earth conscious to what we do, we can save more lives and land that way.
I no longer use an address book. I use a recipe box and index cards to fit the box, each under the appropriate letter tag. Each card has the name, address, phone numbers, cell phone numbers, e mail, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. This way if something changes, I just write out a new card and discard the old.
You can even do this with websites. For that, I have a flat roladex and each site gets their own card with my password and user id. Since I am the only one (live alone) it is not a privacy issue.
I have done this for years, wish I'd thought to suggest it here! Since I am now visually impaired and can't see to read and write anymore, I keep all my phone book info on my computer. With adaptive technology, I can access and read for myself, and editing names, addresses and phone numbers is as simple as a few keystrokes. Saves paper, too.
