I absolutely hate pulling out the regular phone book. The type is too small, and I can never find what I’m looking for. (I sure hope that doesn’t mean my eyesight is failing due to me getting older). I finally decided to fix the problem by putting together my own phone book in a standard 3-ring binder.
The first page is my frequently called numbers list. On it I have the numbers of my landlord, my kids’ schools, my hairdresser, doctors, dentists, etc. Then I have our church directory, followed by our personal address book. I just typed everyone’s name into a word document and printed it out. I update it once a year.
Anytime I get a list of phone numbers, I put it in a sheet protector, and add it to the binder. I have Bible study phone lists, class phone lists, an employee benefit contact list, and several others. I also keep menus and numbers of local restaurants in the book. It’s very handy to have everything in one place. It works for me!

Great idea! I have a hard time keeping our personal phone book clean and handy. Maybe this will help us with that.
Thanks!

Good idea - my mom’s done this for years; she tapes it inside the kitchen cabinets. I’m not as advanced - I think I have a stack of junk envelopes with random numbers…some probably missing names…in a basket somewhere.
