I have been gradually moving all of this information on to my Apple Contacts app, which shares the details across all of my devices.
For a few years I would religiously export the data as a comma separated values (CSV) file and then do a mail merge in to a Word file configured as a file template to create my own printed name and address pages to go in to the back of my A5 organiser.
When it came to reviewing the data this year, I decided that I could save some ring space by not reprinting all of the pages based on the fact that in the last 12 months I couldn't recall looking at those pages at all.
Instead I would continue to just use Apple Contacts to locate the information contained in the A-Z pages. With the pages removed, I retained the A-Z dividers and started to wonder what purpose I could put them to?My initial thought was to use them to divide up my notes and information pages which aren't as well organised as I would like.... and filing information in some form of order would speed up finding information in future.
If you don't use the A-Z for your names and addresses, what do you use them for?
