Just spent the last 3.5 hours going through my personal address book and it was mind-boggling.
SO MANY PEOPLE come and go in one’s life!
Because I’ve worked on so many projects where I’ve been intensely involved with someone for a short stretch it makes sense to add them to my phone. These include everyone from lighting designers to temp labor on design projects. For days, even weeks, I need their info at my finger tips but then two, three, even seven years later, I just stare at their name and wonder “who the hell is that?”
It’s especially interesting with people you “had a moment” with –– and I don’t even mean romantically per se, but rather were somehow involved with your life intensely and have seemingly evaporated.
Interestingly, with Facebook and Linked In, it’s become super-easy to look up people, although truthfully from an area code I could usually piece it all together.
My one organization vow is to ALWAYS note immediately why I’m entering someone –– which will become silly once they are a best friend –– but otherwise will database life so much easier.
[Why am I doing this editing and revising? .. Creating a major networking call list for a few projects.]
Today was a non-jump rope day, so I substitute inversions in the morning. Basically, in one form or another, I was upside down for about 20 minutes.
Fantastic biz meeting with Susan and Val and Belle.
Tea with my branding hero, Ray Davi, and the off to Bikram (oddly the class was larger than usual but my ENEMY was not present).
And now, having reach Z on my mailing list … I really need to swing by Don Pistos and read through some treatments over a glass or two of red wine.
