Ditch Paper with a Handheld Scanner

Carrying around stacks of paper is so last century … it’s a mess, it gets unorganized easily, and it’s environmentally unfriendly. Lose the paper, dude, it’s time to get on the digital bandwagon. If you get a wee scanner such as this Planon Systems DPEN-R700 DocuPen Handheld Pen Size Scanner you can simply digitize all that paper into your computer then send the physical copies into the old circular file.

It’s a much more elegant solution than the bulky flatbed scanners of yore, as all you need to do is run it down the page to suck up all that tasty info. No desk space taken up, no waiting for a bulb to warm up, nothing. It takes a mere 4-8 seconds to scan a page, so next time you get a memo at your desk that’s all the time it’ll take you to move it from the inbox to the wastepaper basket. And hey, won’t it be nice to ditch the stacks of paper you’ve got all over the place? I mean, the files on your computer may be an unorganized disaster, but no one will know that when they walk by a clean desk. Think about it.
