You can if you like, but there is no real need to. All your contacts are stored by date, so it's very easy to filter on that to see anything from a particular date, or a range of date.
I do this routinely, as I participate in the DX Marathon, which start new every Jan 1st. If I want to see what I've worked this year, I just tell it 2026, and that's all it shows me.
