When I first tried to reduce paper in the office, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Then I read a practical article on open-web.info about going paperless. The advice was to start small, and for us that meant switching invoices and contracts to digital PDFs. Once that worked smoothly, we moved to scanning existing records into cloud storage. The effect was immediate—less clutter, faster searches, and significantly less paper consumption. Another big shift was introducing eFax, which replaced printing and faxing with digital transmissions. What surprised me was how quickly my team adjusted; at first they were hesitant, but once they saw how much faster it was, everyone was on board. Even clients appreciated it, since they received documents instantly instead of waiting for hard copies. Looking back, the key was not to try everything at once, but to take it step by step. That’s how you make the change stick.
