People Who Go Paperless Usually Have Less Housework

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.

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.

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.

No matter how small or large a business is, filing cabinets can be a hassle. Even home operations that require an office setup may have challenges selecting the right one. The ones that are easy to carry do not hold much and tend to fall apart with extreme handling. Heavy ones are durable but are best handled with a dolly or other transport device.

There was a time when people did major housecleaning jobs every season but not it has been reduced to once or twice a year. While something is better than nothing, frequent cleanings take less time. If it is a matter of getting rid of unnecessary paperwork, a good tip would be to tackle a large area and sort or scan in hourly increments.

Although it may take time to get a feasible system together, making the effort will make a difference. Even if a person chooses to only receive electronic bill payments, this is better than nothing. Most who choose the paperless route often wonder why they collected so much paper and find they can store hard copy documents in folders instead of filing cabinets.
