worth doing. paperwork is but clutter for the mind. used to be surrounded by mounds of it at work. now i am a student i have a little, but much much less. and never will it rule my life again. boo paperwork. boo red tape. long live the splash of a paddle and a campfire
How to have less paper in my life
How I did it: I consciously continued printing on used paper, and never printed anything unnecessarily. Almost 100% of my work is now electronic and I don't print any reference material. Now, weeks can go by without me printing something, though sometimes I send things to the printer by accident.I also recycle other people's one-sided prints by making them into notepads for the office.

I feel as if I am drowning in a morass of paper, and I can’t get out. It’s like quicksand. I need help!

I work in an office which deals with a lot of data and sometimes, a lot of paper. I try not to print unnecessarily, and try not to keep unnecessary paper either. I shred and recycle as and when I can but there’s still so much paper!
Conservation is KING!
and have nowhere near the paper I used to have in my life. I go through my mail daily and organize it. All envelopes and flyers are recycled and all items I no longer want with personal info on it are shreded. I feel very good about being able to close out this goal!
Hooray I just thre one tub full of paper in the recycling bin. Excellent! Shall I do another?
I am sure to feel uplifted after a paper clean out. Then I can do it all again!
I belatedly found out that our electric company has been doing online billing for quite some time. So I signed up today.
Got Yep for the Mac, a scanner and e-boks.dk. Put up the offical “no junk mail” stickers on my front door.
