============================================
Going as Paperless as Possible
Like it or not, we are a society of technology. 20 years
ago, it was predicted that by the turn of the century,
we'd have become a paper-free world. Well, not only has
that failed to take place, it seems as if we have to deal
with more paper on a daily and ongoing basis than ever
before.
Even though society as a whole has not taken the
paperless route--YOU CAN! By following a few basic
steps, we can begin to free ourselves from the great
paper tiger and save a forest as well. The average person
in the US uses 750lbs of paper per year. Way too much! A
major advantage to going as paperless as possible is that
the fewer papers you have will be easier to tame!
What can you do to go 'paperless?'
1) Don't print your email. If you need to keep something,
save it electronically. Set up an easily workable system
of computer files so that you can find what you store.
2) If you receive catalogs in the mail, email the company
and request that they remove you from their mailing list.
Be sure to include your name and address as it's printed
on the catalog mailing label. If you decide to order from
the company at a future date, you can simply look online
for ordering information.
3) If you receive annual reports from investments, visit
the company website to either discontinue them or change
to email delivery. All of the information contained in
the annual reports is easily accessible online. No need
to clutter up your office with something you will never
read. Seriously, have you ever read them?
4) Owner's Manuals -- once you unpack your item and
determine that all is well, visit the manufacturer's
website. There you will be able to download the manual.
Create a folder on your computer named OWNER'S MANUALS.
Don't just save the link to the site because as models
change, companies tend to remove the manuals from the
sites.
5) Rather than cut multitudes of recipes out of
magazines, go to the magazine's website and download the
recipe to your computer. I'd venture a guess that 99% of
clipped recipes are never made. In the unlikely event
that you decide to make the recipe, you can then print it
out. In the meantime, you've saved yourself having to
find a place for all of those clipped pages.
6) Keep your computer files organized. If your files are
organized, you will be able to find what you're looking
for and won't feel the need to keep a paper copy at hand
for easier access. Label all of your computer files
clearly, not just with a date but with a description also
so that you will know what is inside.

One very important thing to discard when going paperless
is your fear. Ask yourself, 'What's the worst thing that
would happen if I no longer had this piece of paper?'
What steps would I need to take if I needed the
information? Chances are much better than not that you
will never have to refer to it again. For anything. Ever.
If the need did arise where you had to access the
information, it's most likely that it could easily be
found somewhere on the Internet. This is true for
everything from bank statements, medical or other
billings, product information and more.
One thing often heard from people, 'What will happen if
my computer crashes?' As you just heard, probably
nothing will happen because the vast majority of what we
save never gets looked again.
But, in order to safeguard against loss, you always want
to back up the things that you have saved to your
computer. The best way to ensure you do this is to
schedule a regular time for it, maybe once a week or once
a month depending upon how often you use your computer.
Nowadays, the easiest and most cost-effective way to back
up is by burning your information to CDs or DVDs. They
are so reasonably priced that you don't have to be
concerned with buying ones that you can erase and record
over again.
If you need instructions on how to burn CDs or DVDs, the
best way is to do an Internet search. You will find lots
of information and will be able to access step-by-step
instructions. You can also enlist the help of a friend
who is familiar with how to do this.
You will want to make a copy of your back-up as well.
Give this second copy to a friend or relative who lives
outside of your geographical area. This will be your
insurance in case you have some sort of fire, flood,
earthquake or other disaster and your location is
damaged.

An Organizing Tip From One Of Our Readers
Don't toss out all those little extra monthly calendars
you receive at Christmas time. There are many uses
besides the normal use as a purse calendar for events.
I keep one on my treadmill to record my progress in miles
and time. I use another to record gardening events, such
as when I last watered or fed my plants.

A Few Words From Our Sponsors . . .
=====
** What's The REAL SECRET Behind Happily Married Couples? **
How compatible are you and the person you are with? How
would you know? Just because you like the same types of
foods and pets does not mean that you can have a blissful,
long-term relationship.
Do you know why your mate does or doesn't attend church? Do
you know how they really think about the way you dress? Do
you know what your sweetheart is truly passionate about?
How about what irritates them and makes them blue?
An estimated 83% of divorces would not take place if
couples asked each other the right questions.

An Organizing Tip From One Of Our Readers
I keep a special notebook by each phone. On the top of
each page, I write the date. This notebook always stays
right by the phone. When someone calls and leaves a
message or phone number, it is written down. If someone
calls with information, I write down the information in
that notebook.
I don't have names, phone numbers and messages written on
slips of paper here and there that always seem to get
misplaced or thrown away. Everything is in the notebook.
When the notebook is full, I transfer any information
that I need to keep to the place it goes. Then I throw
the notebook away.

On the Calendar
* April 19 at Sundown: Passover Begins.
Passover commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and the
liberation of the Israelites from slavery. 'Passover'
commemorates God's sparing of the Hebrew firstborn as he
saw the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts of
their houses on the night of the Tenth Plague.
The Festival of the Unleavened Bread refers to the week-
long period when leaven has been removed, and unleavened
bread or matzah (flatbread), the holiday's primary
symbol, is eaten to recall the rapid departure of the
Israelies from Egypt.

my Tickler files. It's a wonderful tool for helping me
keep on track of my things to do, calls to make, cards

Excellent idea. You've got yourself a happy customer!
