More People Are Choosing To Go Paperless

By Loris F. Anders


While some people take pride in having a clean home, car, and other personal belongings, most hate cleaning. Especially when the majority of the trash to be removed is paper and it may be hard to determine whether or not it is waste. When a person chooses to go paperless, they can track receipts and other documents faster.

For some, the conversion is not so easy. This group of people may still buy hard copies of books and magazines. While this is fine, they should ask themselves why they do not choose the electronic receipt option when possible. Many people are programmed to believe that once money has changed hands, they need a piece of proof they can hold onto.

Chances are, this group is not in the habit of checking their email often. Or, the only email address they have is related to their job so they may not be able to confirm whether the electronic proof of sale until the next business day. The other common factor is the security of their email, as they may only know it as a place where they receive junk mail or spam.

If a person has an office, they may have their own way of doing things that may seem counterproductive but it works for them. One of these habits is keeping stacks of papers lying around in random spots. Even with shelving, storage cabinets, and other furnishings, they may feel that there is a method to their madness.

While this may be a work in progress, many people find making the conversion at home can make life a little easier. Start with important items like birth or marriage records and if necessary, create a file directory system for other documents like tax forms from previous years. If this is too much for a home multifunctional printer, there are services that are happy to do the job at a fair price.

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.
