ooking at the calendar for the remainder of November and December, I realized I needed to start thinking about the schedule for my Going Paperless posts through the end of the year–mostly because I will be on vacation for the second half of December. With that in mind, here is my plan for the schedule…
ife gets busy and sometimes, it doesn’t relent. When it comes to writing and blogging, the fiction and paid writing always comes first. I’ve got two stories in progress, and a nonfiction article to write, and those kept me busy last night, when I would ordinarily be writing this week’s Going Paperless post. So, this…
s a software developer in my day job, I find I am often doing lots of screen captures. I use Skitch for all of these because they are easy to mark up. As a blogger, writing about, say, Going Paperless, I also do a lot of screen captures, as readers of these posts well know.…
ne of the most frequently-asked questions I get in my capacity as Evernote’s Ambassador for Paperless Lifestyle is how I organize my notebooks and tags in Evernote. Back in January, I wrote in some detail about how I organize my notes. I also provided an annotation of my tags and notebook structure. The short answer…

Bud and I use different tools and have different styles of writing…
his is the first of my biweekly “quick tip”paperless posts. Every other week I’ll do one of these quick tips, and on the weeks I’m not doing the quick tips, I’ll have a regular in-depth Going Paperless post. For more information, see this post. One of the ways I’ve been able to save some time…
irst, don’t panic! Nothing is going away. I am simply making a change to the weekly Going Paperless posts that will make my life a little easier. For a year and a half now, I have been doing these posts weekly. I’ve missed a week here and there but if you look, you’ll see there…
have described how Evernote is the centerpiece of my paperless cloud. But Evernote is far from the only tool that I use to go paperless. I have discussed many of those tools here, and today, I thought I’d talk about how I use Paper. Not, you understand, paper, but Paper, the beautiful app made by…
ast week, in preparation for the release of iOS 7, Evernote released a beautiful new app for iPhone and iPads. The new app is packed with nice little features, but today, I wanted to focus on what I thought was the best feature of all: the ability to create notes quickly. Previous versions of the Evernote…
few weeks ago, I took our car in for its regular maintenance. I had snapped a photo of the maintenance reminder in the windshield of the car and set a reminder in Evernote to ping me to schedule an appointment when the date got close. So far so good. After the service, the service manager…
recently realized that I have been using my awesome Fujitsu ScanSnap s1300i scanner for a little over a year now. One year later, it is still awesome and one of the most important tools I have to keep me paperless. Given that I’ve been using the scanner now for over a year, here’s a few…
