I first started trying to go paperless in 2009 and 2010, and I honestly feel like I am just getting a handle on it more than four years later (and still have a long way to go) - it's an ongoing battle and takes years to conquer. (In fact, I'm fuming because a phone book arrived on our porch yesterday despite my efforts!! Argh!)<br /><br />Ok. *Dismounts Soapbox*<br /><br />Good luck to you!!Bethany Stephenshttp://www.littlemagpie.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-87450737306895702762014-02-20T06:05:21.960-06:002014-02-20T06:05:21.960-06:00I hear you loud and clear!

It is a young app so new features are being added all the time, especially when you login online vs the app. I leave the online version up on my laptop at all times, but the app is great for on the go. You create an avatar and each task done grants you experience points to level up your avatar and sometimes little items. People that find themselves avoiding their to do lists may be more inclined if there is a game element to it. More info at habitrpg.com It really is super helpful and a bit adorable.

I adore our sweet (walking) neighborhood mail man who stops to pet and chat with our cat every day, but I don't want to see that man on my porch unless he is bringing me a letter. I'm on a mission to keep statements, bills and junk out of my mailbox. I had checked out PaperKarma in the past, but I bet it has evolved by leaps and bounds.

If you saw enough value to go pro, then you are going to love all that you can do with it. <br /><br />And I can absolutely relate - having Evernote often makes me feel like a magician conjuring information out of thin air.

I used to be a big fan of laminated shopping lists that I could reuse and binders for home organization, but increasingly I just want less STUFF so I am loving keeping everything consolidated on phone or iPad.<br /><br />And thanks so much for the lovely words - happy to meet you and connect with a UK organizing enthusiast! :)<br /><br />(And even happier that I seem to have found my face/icon for replying to comments, ha!)Bethany Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635852665797732924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-38221810065984741792014-02-03T16:37:58.201-06:002014-02-03T16:37:58.201-06:00Harper, I am so happy you posted this to help me l...Harper, I am so happy you posted this to help me legitimize my own use of it!

Along the lines of Chandra's previous comment, I am just all about keeping the clutter out of my life (for me, that means scraps of paper!) so I can focus on the people and moments that matter. I have a feeling my paperless quest is going to take several more years, though... and I'll always have the timeless mementos made of paper. <br /><br />Good luck - keep me posted!Bethany Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635852665797732924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-60065466568414230502014-02-03T16:34:24.355-06:002014-02-03T16:34:24.355-06:00Chandra, that is such a healthy outlook!

While I love a good app or iPad trick, my kids are learning to send hand-written thank you notes and you would be shocked if you entered our century old house - VERY non-tech-y. In fact, I love balance - and I think that is exactly what you're striking in your life. As I type this, I'm sitting next to a stack of vintage French books, a real journal and pen I use nightly, leather-bound photo albums and (snicker) a box marked "Negatives" from 1997.<br /><br />It's all about balance. So glad you posted, and glad to know there are plenty of people who still value maps, letters and handwriting.
