    Going Paperless: Elimination Round

    By James | April 25, 2008

    Since deciding to go paperless I’ve had some research done and I’ve plotted out a few steps in my head. The first of those steps is elimination, which I think I can take care of this weekend.

    First thing tomorrow morning I am going to: Sign up to stop credit card offers, reduce my junk mail, and opt-out of catalogs.

    I think that will be a good start. At least it will eliminate some clutter and save some trees. I still haven’t decided if I am going to eliminate mail further through a paid service - I’ve heard good things about Earth Class Mail.

    I’m still mulling over a few techniques I’ve found to handle my existing documents.

      James - if you haven’t taken a look at EverNote - you should definitely do so soon.

      http://www.evernote.com/

      It includes a phenomenal OCR and search engine, runs on windows, *nix or a mac and has a mobile version for searching from your iPhone/Blackberry/random smartphone when you’re out and about. It’s also got tagging and such for easy categorizing ala a traditional filing cabinet.
