So we moved house. And I’m determined for this house to remain relatively clutter free. At least upstairs. So we’re going paperless.

This might sound like “Getting Things Done” (GTD), or “being environmentally conscious”… But it’s not. I promise. I just don’t want to have to keep picking up rubbish, or have an obscene amount of college reading to sort through next time we move house.

I’m oddly excited about an office peripheral.
Anybody out there got some good paperless tips? Or other general decluttering methods? I toyed with the idea of turning all my books into ebooks using 1 dollar scan… but I am still stubbornly tactile.
