Just start calling. As you go enter them into your P3 (or update) - with notes to tell yourself how you can help them - then toss the slips.
 
I have a recipe box that i keep them in, I have slots for first week, second, third and fourth. I place slips in the spots that I need to call people or send something out, and then file it to the back. I always enter the email addresses in my computer, so I make sure they get any email I need to send. That way I can take my box, planner and phone and go make my calls and I don't have to be sitting by the computer to make all my calls. If I go to a meeting and we decide to book shows, I can grab it and go!

I am actually trying to do this with my slips right now. But I've got two different size boxes to choose from in my supplies...they fit my PC Drawing slips just fine, but any index tab divider is too big! So what size box did you use? or are you using different drawing slips than the PC provided one.

The tabs are actually large index cards (5x8") that I cut down to fit...but if I cut anymore off the top- then I won't see the words on the tabs!
