đ 5 Strategies for Better Organizing Your Contacts
-
Make notes about each person when you chat with them in their contact card within your phone: For example, ****spouseâs name, kidsâ names, pets names, important milestones).
-
Identify your friendship circles and a cadence for each: 5, 15, 50, 150, 151+ Pin your favorites in texts and contacts.
-
Create a go-to moniker for your MIPs such as Keith Ferrazziâs âLifeline,â saving it as their middle name so you can search when you need a trusted friend to call.
-
Create collection buckets for cities, even if you donât know their full address. You could even keep it mainly to people youâd want to see when you visit. If you want to separate these out, indicate their city as the company name or in notes. Ie: Visit Austin or Austin Travel
-
Add confirmation text phone numbers to your contacts with an emoji identifier, Either in first name field or by customizing the image. For example, ie đ Capsule Pharmacy, đŠShipping Updates, đŸ Vet, đ©đ»ââïž Doctor, etc. This way they immediately jump out and stand apart from spam, and might even spark a little joy when you see them :) Hereâs an example of Jennyâs »
-
Bonus: Keep a Notes note with your neighbors names and a 1-2 word description to jog your memory :)
đ Permission: Not to create a full-on CRM or pay for expensive overly complicated software.
