Hi Dan, great suggestion! I guess I’m just too lazy to spend time scanning and then organizing those scanned images. Some papers aren’t worth scanning. Especially school notes that are only relevant for 1 or 2 days like reminders and stuff.

Lynette,

If you need the paper while you’re working, you can keep it in an inbox on your desk and then scan the pieces that you want to keep to your computer. This way you have the convenience of working with the paper and the advantage of electronic storage. I also recommend using a desktop search program (I use X1 Professional) so that you can find the documents easily later. There are many multifunction printers that have good scanners these days, and they are cheap!

Try a dual monitor setup…I find that with more desktop space, you can prep for a phone call, and have everything open with the additional screen “real estate”.

I understand what you mean. I like to keep a few sheets of paper in front of me all the time it has a space for notes so I can jot down notes during phone calls. I find navigating the computer while on the phone distracting.

Having paper copies makes multi-tasking a lot easier for me. Particularly on a phone, where you can run multiple apps, but it takes longer to find the right window.
