Week #9: Address Book & Contact Information

This week's challenge in The 52-Week Organized Home Challenge is to organize my address book & contact information.

This week's challenge was not to difficult as I already have an address book.  In fact, I've had this address book for many years.  I think I've had it since Marc & I got married, so over 7 1/2 years.  Nothing fancy, just one I got from Hallmark.  But it does the job.

My problem is that over the years I have not updated people's information, addresses, etc.  I usually just tear off return address labels or scribble someone's new address on a sheet of paper & throw it in the front of the address book.  I've never taken the time to go through the address book & update everything.

Until now.  It only took me 1/2 hour or so to update everyone's contact information & now my address book is clutter free & up to date.  Super easy & quick.  My kind of challenge!

One thing that I have accumulated over the past 10 months since I started selling Scentsy, is business cards.  Business cards from potential clients (realtors, daycare centers, etc), current customers as well as other consultants that I've met.  I recently found this awesome product to keep track of all of my receipts (Scentsy expenses) & it works great for business cards too!

Have you ever heard of NeatReceipts?  It is an awesome product that scans receipts, business cards, and documents while the software identifies, extracts and organizes key information {source}. It has been a great tool to not only organize all of my receipts but also store all of my business cards.  No more random business cards lying around and/or piles of them making a mess on my desk.  I highly recommend this product if you are in need of more organization in your business or home!
