Am I going paperless? Well, not totally… but I’m giving it a try in a couple areas!
Recently, I agreed to two volunteer positions: a 3-year term as Elder on our church board and a 2-year term as Secretary for the Iowa Genealogical Society board.
Also recently, I acquired a slightly used Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, which will transport easily to my many upcoming meetings. (By the way, so far I LOVE this tablet!)
Since I’ve read positive comments about Evernote, a note-taking and organizing software, I’m going to try Evernote as a way to take notes and organize the agenda, notes, minutes and other items from these meetings. I’m impressed with the ability to sync the Evernote files on my tablet with my desktop at home without having to use flash drives.
SO…………… I’m going to see how it goes! With all of our attempts to organize and reduce the paper we already have in our house, I absolutely must reduce the amount of paper coming into our house. Paperless, as far as I can possibly take it in these two endeavors! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Good luck in your 2 new positions. We have come so far from the days when took notes in shorthand and then struggled to read the notes when we transcribed them. I always enjoy your blogs and keep copies of them. Best wishes. Donna
Yes, Donna, I also took shorthand class in school, but I never really used it. I have a genealogy friend, however, who uses shorthand to this day!
