I've stopped filing paper in a filing cabinet. Now I just scan it and throw it out. (I should be shredding it, but haven't gotten around to buying a shredder).

I've stopped filing paper in a filing cabinet. Now I just scan it and throw it out. (I should be shredding it, but haven't gotten around to buying a shredder). This takes strictly less time than filing it by hand, is more enjoyable, and best of all, it's searchable. Details: I bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap sheet fed scanner (loads paper in a hopper like a fax machine) off of Ebay for $100. It has decent Evernote integration, such that I can drop in a sheet of paper, push a button, and have it scan both sides of the sheet of paper directly to Evernote.
