Just a reminder that Evernote’s 30-Day Paperless Challenge begins tomorrow. You can find all of the details over on the Evernote Blog. There is a Facebook Event page for the challenge. I will be peeking in there from time-to-time. I will also be using my weekly Going Paperless Tips post to provide a few tips…
I just wanted to point out to anyone who hasn't already seen it, that the second annual Evernote Trunk Conference will be taking place in San Francisco on August 24, just a week away. In addition to a bunch of great events the Evernote folks have planned, there is also a series of fun and…
(I am offline all week, taking a vacation from the Internet. This is one of the new posts I have scheduled for each day that I am away.) Next week, the good folks over at Evernote are going to kick off a monthlong “Paperless Challenge.” If you head on over to the Evernote Blog, you can…
Tuesdays are the days I write and post my Going Paperless tips. It’s funny, but I find that on Tuesdays, without really thinking about it, I wear one of the cool t-shirts the good folks at Evernote sent me some back when I became their Paperless Lifestyle ambassador. I don’t really think about, it just…
After having gone paperless for a while, one of the big payoffs I discovered was the ability to have “paperless” meetings. I don’t know about you, but my days sometimes feel like they are mostly spent in meetings. Years ago, while driving into work, back when I lived in L.A., I heard a great quote…
I have a tendency toward list-making. The desire to create a list increases in direct proportion to how busy I am and how cluttered my mind feels. I’ll resist but eventually, the need for creating a list becomes overpowering and I just have to get it on paper. Except that, in my efforts to live…
When I began to go paperless, I came with a plan. I had the tools I needed to get started. I had a process in mind for handling paper that I received. I had some cool ideas. But it was my intention to go slowly. I wasn’t going to go through my existing filing cabinet…
As a blogger, when I first decided to go paperless nearly 2 years ago, I told everyone. I not only wrote blog posts about it, but I told friends, family and coworkers. I made it pretty clear, I think, that as nature abhors a vacuum, I abhor paper. Of course, being outspoken on the subject…
When I started going paperless, it wasn’t my only intention to get rid of paper. It seemed to me by converting things from paper to digital format and having that information available anywhere, I could improve the efficiency and speed with which I could get things done. This notion has proven particularly handy after I…
In this week’s Going Paperless post, I am answering the questions that folks asked in the comments to last week’s “open forum” post. I looks like I got seven questions, covering a fairly wide range of topics. I’ve answered them in the order they appeared below. I’ve tried to provide a general topic area for…
One of the great things about going paperless with Evernote is the ability to access your paperless data from no matter where you are. What follows are four tips for using your paperless data on the go, away from home. Also, note that for next week’s column, I’m going to try an open forum. See…
As I indicated in this week’s Going Paperless post, this is the thread where you can ask me questions about paperless lifestyle. Ask anything you like about paperless lifestyle (it can be about the software, Evernote, Skitch, or something else); or hardware (scanners, iPhones, staple removers, shredders); or even process. Post your question in the…
