~Would you rather get planewrecked on a desert island than deal with your paper files?
The Bite
File docs digitally, rather than printing them out. Creating portable document files (PDFs) of online bills, contracts, and receipts on your PC and keeping them in folders on your hard (or external) drive saves you paper and printer ink, and makes keeping track of things simpler than saving a group of schoolboys from self-inflicted doom.
The Benefits
*Saving trees for escape rafts. Paper makes up more of our garbage than any other type of trash at almost 40% (you can always print out docs later if you need to).
*It’s easier than playing a conch shell, and it’s a whole lot easier than dealing with physical folders and those annoying multicolored tabs.
*Easy file rescue. Searching your hard drive takes way less time than digging through file cabinets.
Personally Speaking
While I am not totally paperless, my file cabinets computer table are more notable for the plants perched on top than the measly number of files inside.
