When you are starting to go paperless, one of the best things that you can do is eliminate the paper coming into your life in the first place. A tweet from Twitter user @chicken_scratch pointed me to this smartphone app PaperKarma. Apparently you can use it to take a picture of a piece of mail, […]
Continue readingSometimes people are hesitant to use Evernote because they don’t like the idea of some of their more sensitive documents being stored in the cloud. Fair enough. One answer is to use the Local Notebook feature of Evernote. It keeps your documents on your computer only. This video shows how that works across three different […]
Continue readingAfter this year’s Macworld|iWorld, I finally caved and bought OmniFocus, which I had been coveting from afar for nearly two years.[1] When I purchased it, I also went out and purchased the eBook Creating Flow With OmniFocus by Kourosh Dini, MD.[2] This is a fantastic book, and two related passages really resonated with me, which […]
