Paper cuts are never fun but even worse is the cost of having paper. Not to mention trying to find that piece of paper. I knew there had to be a better way than having an office and storage unit full of paper that I had to keep.
I added up the cost of paper, toner, file folders, file cabinets, storage rental, paper clips, binder clips and my time (I’m sure there are a few other items I’m missing). It was mind boggling that so much money was spent on a piece of paper. Even more frustrating was it always seemed the most important piece or paper was in the last box in the storage unit.
I all ready was saving paper received electronically but was still frustrated with the paper I had and my storage space on my computer being eaten up. So I purchased an external hard drive and scanner and went to work. I scanned all my paper and now store them on my external hard drive. I have folders set up and add any new documents to the folders.
Love it and so did my accountant (and everyone else). If she called or email me for a document needed I was able to email her the document in a matter of minutes. She was impressed even more than I was.
