Whether your business or nonprofit is already partially paperless or is only at the beginning of your journey to becoming paper-free, there are tools that can help with the transition. Sustainable businesses are more productive and are better for our world, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to implement sustainable initiatives. Without the right tools on your side, it can be daunting to stay organized without paper documents. These tips will keep your workflow running smoother than ever — all while being 100% paperless!
File-Syncing Services
File-syncing services are a must for any business going paperless. You will be able to view documents on whatever device is at your disposal. You’ll even be able to save copies for offline viewing. Some examples of great file-syncing services include Dropbox, Google Drive, and Apple iCloud. Head here for a side-by-side comparison of the best file-syncing services of 2016.
E-signature Tools
Need a document signed? With e-signature tools, putting pen to paper is a thing of the past. Additionally, you won’t even need to use a mouse to deliver a less-than-ideal version of your signature. Nowadays, you can take a picture of your signature and upload it. Then you can re-use it anytime you need to sign a document thanks to e-signature tools. Make sure you find an e-signature tool with tight security options so that you can assure your most important documents are well protected.
Digital To-Do Lists
It’s time to retire your paper to-do list. Besides the obvious waste of paper, writing your to-do list on paper is less productive. When making a paper to-do list, the page can soon get cluttered and messy as you complete your tasks and cross items off the list. Wunderlist is popular amongst many people in terms of digital to-do lists, but there are other options to explore if you’re looking for a specific feature.
