Perhaps this is nothing new to others but I figured I would share.
Do you have an enormous stack of papers in your office or on your desk somewhere that has been accumulating for years? Perhaps it is a pile of items that you feel are important enough to hold onto, but not important enough to organize in any meaningful fashion? I know that I used to have many such stacks of paper.
Behold the scanner. In the past few weeks I have removed massive stacks of paper from the Director of Government Affairs' desk. All of the items are scanned onto a drive, given a very detailed description in the file name (which includes a date) and then organized into easily transferable folders. It's so easy! Although a tad time-consuming to scan all of those documents, the end result is well worth it. Instead of a stack of papers that are essentially useless except for whatever happens to be on top, now you have a well-organized set of documents on hard drive or server that is easily referable.
Do I sound like a big nerd?
Fair enough.
I'll say it again, I can't tell you how gratifying it is to make those unsightly stacks of paper disappear. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. My only fear is that I did such a good job with Abass' office that now I will be recruited
