Since I keep a paper diary, I get one with an address section and use that for physical addresses. I copy all of the addresses over from my old diary to the new one on the plane / train / tram ride to wherever we end up for New Year's Eve.
Cons:
It's a pain in the ass.
Pros:
Each year I can review the addresses I keep - full addresses for family / farflung friends, phone details for doctor / cat minder / hair salon (the really important stuff); unlike my old paper address book, I don't have half of it filled up by people I went to summer camp with 15 years ago.
If I know someone has moved recently, I can verify their address with a minimal trawl through email. Also a bonus over my old address book since I don't have 12 crossed out or scrubbed out addresses for the same person
I always have my paper diary with me, so I can address postcards / Christmas cards / thank you notes on a train.
I could use a mobile phone for the above functionality, but I hate my phone and rarely know where it is or if it's charged. The paper diary works for me.
