As we discussed previously, there are some great online tools like Evernote, Dropbox, (or Google Drive, Box, etc.) that can help you organize and backup your digital life. To make an immediate impact on your life, try to focus on the paper, documents you are dealing with right now. Unless you have this paperless routine down perfectly, you don't want to worry about old files just yet.
I recommend starting with
Evernote to get your bills, contracts, teachers' letters, pay stubs, etc. out of the "inbox" and in the shredder. Evernote themselves have put together some helpful hints for starting the
New Year organized.
We will talk further about other ways to help you get organized for the new year. We will talk about some other helpful tools and sites that can inspire you. But for now, I just wanted to encourage you to get started with Evernote.
Note: Feel free to use other storage solutions. I recommend for Evernote because of its amazing search and tagging functionality that makes finding what you want so easy.
