Paper is simply one way of storing information, up until now the most popular way. Computers have created a new way of storage, one that is vastly more efficient and less prone to loss. You can’t back up your paper files very easily. If you tried it you’d find it time consuming and expensive. Backing up digital data is fast, cheap and relatively easy.
Finding information in paper is often frustrating. Studies show that the average office worker spends at least an hour each day looking for information in paper files. Searching for that same information using a computer would take a few seconds.
So why haven’t more people switched over to paperless storage?
Many people balk at the idea of moving away from a familiar system, even if they know that it’s completely inefficient. But most people just don’t know how to make the switch to digital storage. That’s where I come in. I’ll show you how to do it one step at a time. And, while I can’t predict exactly how long it will take to make the transition (it varies), I can tell you that everyone is completely happy about making the switch once they commit.
The best time to get started is right now. So let’s figure out a transition strategy that will work for you. After we come up with a strategy I’ll help you put it into practice. It’s not as hard as you might imagine.
