This is Day 12 in a 12 Post series: 12 Days Of Paperless Gifts. If you know someone who could use some help going paperless, or if you’d like to drop some hints, this series is for you. Don’t worry, the regular DocumentSnap tips will still be flowing.
Going paperless is an area that can very easily lead to analysis paralysis. You want to learn what to do, but at some point you need to take action.
Having said that, sometimes rather than messing around trying to figure out the right way to go, it is helpful to have a book or other resource to guide you down the right path.
I might be slightly biased with the first few, but here are some ideas:
