So, while watching a TV shopping channel not long ago-actually it was my wife who was watching, I was just walking by the TV-a nifty portable scanner came on the air, aimed squarely at other poor souls in my same predicament. Plus, I don’t need presentation-quality images for the type of scanning I’m planning to do. I considered getting a flatbed scanner but I really don’t want another piece of equipment cluttering up my desk. Most of these loose bits of paper include invoices, receipts, and the like-all stuff that I need to keep, but not necessarily in paper form.
At the very least, though, I can achieve a truce and reduce the number of dead tree casualties that litter my desk.
After conducting my own personal war on paper, I’ve come to the grim conclusion that victory is unattainable-I’ll never completely eliminate paper from my life.
