About every six months I run across someone in my email contacts that I have no idea who they are. I ask my wife if she remembers who they are, and when we’re both stumped I do something that some people think makes me a bad person.
I delete them.
And then I start looking for other people I don’t know in my contact list.
And I delete them too.
But then, I come across that person that I actually know who they are but haven’t talked to in the last 5 years. And since the delete button is already warmed up, I delete them as well.
I figure it’s appropriate to surround myself with people I ACTUALLY know. Those are the people I want to get in touch with. Those are the people I’m going to relate to.
