The Paperless Home Office
22-Jan-07
As a home office worker, I have a lot of paper that comes through my office space. Bills, receipts, statements– everything. I get contracts to be signed from clients, then signed contracts returned. Printouts of proposals. Bills for my cell phone service, Feedburner, my web hosts, dues renewal notices. Not to mention the receipts– for every bill, there is a receipt somewhere. Then my bank sends a statement each month, so I know those receipts came out of my account. When I finish working on a project, I generate an invoice, to be sent to the client, who then sends me a check.
And then there are the numerous unsolicited/unnecessary bits that come in. The bill for services I didn’t want or need. The membership offer I didn’t ask for. The reams of paper addressed to my business name, proof that these companies are skimming the Doing Business As list for contact information.
How’s a writer to manage so much…. paper?
