I also keep all of my account and password information in the same binder. A couple of times a year, I dump the whole lot through a scanner to have a back up copy and store that back up on evernote. I have the convenience of being able to take the folder with me anywhere because of it's size, there is nothing on the outside to make it obvious that it is my master file, and I have it backed up.

I am not sure what kind of phone you have, but if you have a Blackberry, iPhone, MyTouch, or anything of that sort then you can use a program called Evernote. I use that company in many different forms to keep track of all of my blog ideas, or ides for my ecommerce website. With this program you can use an application that you put directly onto your phone so you can take a picture of your business cards and send it to Evernote. I use all forms of Evernote, (for free) on my phone I have their application through PixlePipe, on my desktop I have a downloaded version, and I also use their online version as a back up so that if anything happens I will never loose my information! This can be messy to some, but you can set up notebooks so that all of your addresses go right into an address only notebook. Then you have access to your information anywhere you are! And personally I am not a huge fan of printing even more out than I already do, so it is even less paper to keep track of! Hello again!

But then (important step) I print it out right away after I finish entering the addresses and put the printout in my binder where I keep my passwords and account numbers other useful information. Then when I get new ones from time to time I will tape the buisiness cards and return address stickers with the addresses to the bottom of the last page. Periodically I go back and edit the document to add the new ones or fix any changes that had been penciled in on my current copy. And for when I'm really lazy, there's an extra page with a sheet protector where I can drop in any new cards I haven't had time to tape to a sheet of paper. Nice thing about having a printout or two is if your computer blows up you can scan and OCR your previous printout to recreate the electronic document. But even if you don't do them electronically typed, just making the one master place where you keep the addresses helps a lot! That way when you find addresses elsewhere little by little, you can relocate them to the master place. I do create my list electronically (type it up in MS Word).
