How To Keep Your Contacts Under Control And Uncluttered (TPS341)


Listen Later

I’m a big believer in the idea that a majority of our happiness comes from the people we surround ourselves with.

Imagine when everyone in your family, friends, and closest contacts are all cheering for you, are regularly letting you know how much they care about you, and that you can always count on them for anything you need.

Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Well, it is, but to get to that stage, you need to be able to identify who you want to surround yourself with and who you want to stay in touch with.

That’s where Contact Management comes in and what today’s episode is all about.

We’ll show you 5 tips to get started with managing your contacts and ways to stay in touch with people in the most efficient way possible.
