Go Paperless And Get Rid Of Bulky File Cabinets

By Loris F. Anders


In these times, people are finding new ways to make life simpler. They want to spend less time commuting to and from work, or at least finding ways to multitask while sitting in traffic. Even better, more individuals are getting rid of the clutter around their home for a better quality of life. When people go paperless, they are no longer wondering what to do with random receipts and other miscellaneous documents.

One reason was that sometimes people liked to do their own filing. While it may have saved time, sometimes a mild case of dyslexia would take over, making that file missing in action for a spell. Then companies just decided to do away with documents that were old but still valid by placing them in cold storage.

There are some who will clean out their pockets and maybe, purse every week. For those who like to coordinate their bag or purse with every outfit or change based on need, cleanings may be done as needed. Like when the random papers become too much to deal with and there is no room to fit anything else easily.

The best way to look at this is the time spent clearing out spaces or storage areas versus the annual cost of buying a secure address. Some people think of hosting packages that mostly suit small and home businesses but these can save money, time, and physical space. This means fewer stamps, faster responses to common questions, and place to store electronic receipts and other documents.

However, to a new client or business associate, unkempt areas may make this person look incompetent. Although first impressions may or may not be lasting, if the person were to realize the benefits of using electronic files, there may be less madness in their professional life. It would certainly make things easier for others that may work in their absence,

This has led to more people creating a file directory on a hard drive or storage cloud that holds scanned copies of old documents. Besides eliminating the space problem, documents can be secured with a passcode or only accessible to a designated group of individuals. Since more home offices are choosing this route, owners find that they do not need as much room for equipment and supplies.

Another disadvantage of having a lot of papers around is they collect a lot of dust. When these turn yellow or begin to fade, they are harder to read and are impossible to fix with a home scanning device. This is why most smartphone holders tend to snap pictures of hard copy receipts within one week of a transaction. If they need a refund or exchange, scrounging around looking for something is a waste of time and possible loss of money.
