How to Go Paperless

*** Please note: This meeting will be both in-person and online. Also note the earlier time. ***

We all get a lot of paper from many different places. Receipts, statements, letters, notes, etc. All this paper can just pile up in inboxes or on your desk. You can try to file it away in a file cabinet, but then the file cabinet gets full, so then you get another file cabinet. It gets to a point where you can’t even find anything when you actually need it.

There is certainly a better way and it is called “Paperless”! Let’s walk through how to go paperless and digitize all the paper in your life. It’s a great way to start out the new year!

Please join us at the next Mini’app’les meeting!
