Day 1 Paperless @ Work

Today was my first paperless workday (Monday being a public holiday here in Brisbane for labour day).

The apps that got the most use today were:
- AwesomeNote for ToDo lists (and for reviewing older notes stored in a categorized / dated format)
- NotesPlus for general handwritten note taking.
- iOS Email client for sending myself documents.
- iPad Camera, for turning paper offered to me by other people into digital form.

I definitely found the lack of hardcopy annoying at times, especially when I wanted to work through lists in emails - I usually print them and then scratch out completed items. I had planned to replicate this using a PDF markup app, but then found my client-provided desktop provided no way for me to save-as or print-to PDF. I'll have to keep working on that one.

Apart from grabbing the free afternoon newspaper (and then putting it back when I remembered!!), I think all up it was a pretty successful first day of paperlessness.*

*note: I'm starting my paperless month from today, May 3 through to June 3. (I think I'm going to have an issue on Mothers' Day - I have to wrap presents and give a card!!
