Cell Phone Clean-Up

I was browsing through my address book in my cell phone last night and realized it is jam packed with people/numbers that I don’t even use. I hate it when I need to quickly make a call and have to spend more time combing through my address book trying to find a specific contact than I would actually spend on the phone. So I started the process of deleting contacts from my phone.

You know, deleting people from my phone was a hard process…harder than I thought it would be. I had a hard time deciding whether someone should stay or go. I mean, I had to decide whether I would ever (realistically) hear from any of these people again and/or whether I still cared. For example, I found a contact who I haven’t spoken to in, at least, 5 years. I’m pretty sure that if I dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow, he would never know. So…gone. On the other hand, I found another contact who I haven’t spoken to in a few years, but if the opportunity should arise, I wouldn’t hesitate to keep in contact with her. So…she stays. So the process went on for awhile until I made it through almost 200 people. I managed to cut my address book into almost half…which is awesome.
