he official reboot of my Going Paperless series kicked off yesterday. I often mention or recommend different types of software and hardware products in these posts. Pushing a product or service without disclosing how one is compensated for such promotion is murky business at best. I prefer to be completely transparent. To that end, here…
Welcome to Going Paperless 2.0 I wanted to preface this post with a brief note on the newly rebooted Going Paperless series. I started writing the original series in April 2012, and continued the series through more than 120 posts, concluding it in December 2014. I ended it because I had other time commitments, and…
have a tentative schedule for the rebooted Going Paperless series. Like the original series, I plan to do a weekly post. The regularly scheduled series will begin on Tuesday, December 29. Every Tuesday thereafter, a new Going Paperless post should appear. So far, I have the first half dozen posts planned out, which would take…
ack in December 2012, I wrote a Going Paperless post that described my mobile, paperless office. A lot can change in three years, especially when it comes to technology. I wanted to use this inaugural post of the rebooted Going Paperless series to describe my mobile paperless office today. Here it what my mobile paperless…
ast week, I did a Twitter poll to see if folks would be interested if I rebooted my Going Paperless series into a kind of 2.0 version. I’d revisit some old ground for newcomers, but forge ahead into new territory, talking about how I’ve changed my processes along the way, and describing new use cases…
he results of yesterday’s Twitter poll came in this morning. It would appear that folks are overwhelmingly in favor of more Going Paperless posts, and that makes me happy. The poll also got more responses than I imagined, and that makes me happy as well. Next Steps I need some time to figure out the…
arlier today, I took advantage of Twitter’s new poll functionality to ask if folks would be interested in a new 2.0 version of my Going Paperless series. There’s about 15 hours left in the poll if you are interested in getting in your response. Would folks be interested in a new (call it 2.0) series…
f Sherlock Holmes lived in a paperless world, he might have said, When you have tried to eliminate all paper, whatever remains, however improbable, must be useful. In the years that I have been on this journey to go paperless, I’ve found that there is some paper that, no matter how much I’d like to…
keep my eye out for apps that can help save me time and be more productive. So when Evernote recently released their new app, Scannable, I was eager to try it out. Not only was it designed to do one thing really well–namely, scan documents–but it filled a niche that I found I needed more and…
ver the years, I have become a big-proponent of two aspects of software: (1) That it is entirely web-based; (2) that it is as distraction-free as possible. The first item has been an interesting transition. I used to like the secure feeling I got using a piece of software I installed on my laptop. But…
nce a year, I’ve gotten into the habit of reviewing and updating my social media profiles. You know, what I say about yourself on Twitter, or Facebook, or LinkedIn, and what I send to publications when they request biographies. I generally only do this once a year, and I use 3 tools to manage the…
everal months ago, I ended the regularly scheduled series of Going Paperless posts, with the emphasis on “regularly.” I felt that I was beginning to stretch the ideas I was writing about. I decided that I would only write new Going Paperless posts when I had a good idea. And so today I’m back with a post on…
