As a brand new MacBook user, I’ve been following your tutorials for about three months. I appreciate all you share. Your paperless method is exactly what I’ve been doing for about ten years. Our methods are so similar, I could have written your script. I love the freedom that paperless gives by reducing all the clutter of paper. I’m sure the trees are thanking us as well.
Fujitsu has finally updated the software. I have a similar problem with one of their scanners. It sat for years, and then just by chance I checked their website and found the new software.
Fascinating and interesting video. More people should be telling us to do this, not only for the whole "trees" thing but to keep all of the paper in the world, there is a lot of space and time spent creating boxes, files, cabinets. Let us just get rid of it all and save energy too. Great idea, and good pep talk for good personal business discipline. I enjoyed hearing about your strategy, Gary. Thank you.
Gary's journey is similar to my own, in that I have been moving to paperless over the last few years, using Evernote as my database and a dedicated ScanSnap Evernote Edition scanner to get the paper into my computer. Just a note though, Fujitsu actually did have a 64 bit firmware update/ conversion for older ScanSnap scanners such as my Evernote edition, and it converted it to an iX500EE that I still use daily with ScanSnap Home on my M1 MacBook Air with no issues at all. I still scan all receipts and other important documents. Works great!
Being able to be as paperless as possible is definitely one of my goals. I appreciate the tips and hope that I can really start getting on top of my file management. Documents are important these days and it's kind of weird having to deal with everything.
I have an S1500M that was supposed to be obsolete with the last OS upgrade. They released new software unexpectedly just days before I was going to ditch the scanner or switch to VueScan. Still works so I’m happy to amortize the significant cost a while longer.
I am now in the process of digitising hundreds of old colour and black & white physical photos. No need to keep photo albums in living room, just a USB in a smart TV to see old photos and enjoy memories!
I like to do everything the hard way so I have folder "inbox" in my dropbox and Hazel checking that folder and reading .pdf files from that folder. When it see new .pdf it uses OCR and check words etc. what I have set it to search example phone bill and when it see that it will move that file to other place with /year/month/company phonebille date.pdf automatically. So when I download .pdf or scan document with my phone I always save them to that "inbox" folder and let Hazel and other apps to process them how I want automatically.
Hi Gary, I use a Brother Multi Function Centre (MFC) that has a printer, scanner and fax component. Mine is a MFC-L3700 CDW but there are others. The scanner is full duplex (both sides at once), ignores blank pages and saves into a searchable PDF. It will also save into other formats as well. Highly recommended. [ I prefer the printer/scanner over the iPhone scanner as the resulting file is smaller and the quality is better]
I'm perfectly fine with my ScanSnap ix500. There was always software for macOS since I bought it in 2015. Regarding all other tips you gave, I am doing it the exact same way! 😎
A very useful video tutorial today. I guess it’s a good way to thin out the recycle bin. I need to finish paying my bills on line this video just reminded me of that. Thank you, Gary! 👍👏🏻❤️
When you buy something for your home i.e. snowblower, lawn mower, blender, etc. it comes with a manual that inevitably gets misplaced. Now, the first thing I do when I buy something is that I go online and download the manual pdf and keep it in a "Manuals" folder so I always know where it is. This may not reduce paper but it reduces aggravation!
I’ve been saving my bills as pdf for some time, except I file them by company name (ie Visa, Phone, ISP etc) and in date order. I also use the annotate function to add a text box in red showing the date I paid the bill. This serves to remind me I’ve paid and as a reference if there’s ever a dispute.
I was also bummed out when my terrific Fujitsu Scansnap S510M wasn't supported anymore. But after several months, the Scansnap Manager app was updated to include it.
I’ve been on a similar journey. I used a Fujitsu scanner to digitise documents I had in filing slings and folders in a large filing cabinet. It was a therapeutic process though shredding a lot of documents using a home shredder was a pain, especially when the shredder jammed. I now scan all important documents that I receive and, like you, opt for digital documents rather than paper where it’s available. The only time I use paper is to print eBay mailing labels or to print off forms where a firm insists I return a completed paper copy to them. I still use a Fujitsu scanner though I find the company isn’t great when it comes to customer service.
Same happened to me with outdated scanner from Fujitsu (Scansnap S1500M). I keep one partition of Mojave MacOs (32-bit apps are running) on my Mac just for this scanner/usecase. To be started with ALT+Start-Button No Vuescan for tons of $/€ needed. 😜
I always filed by item and provided a folder for each type of item (Vehicles, Technology, Insurance etc), now, after this, everything goes into the year and that's it. Thanks Gary! Just found this channel a couple of weeks ago. It's between Squid Game and this as to my binging habits! 😉
Great tutorial on organization. I have been doing similar things on my Mac. I have had the Fujitsu Scansnap since 2013 and it performs great. Could not do without it. Sorry to hear you were disappointed with the company.
Fujitsu actually did have a 64 bit firmware update/ conversion for older ScanSnap scanners such as my Evernote edition, and it converted it to an iX500EE that I still use daily with ScanSnap Home on my M1 MacBook Air with no issues at all.
I get the part about scanning a bunch of documents at once, but I am confused about naming the files? do you name each one or do you have the software do it?
I've been paperless since 2009 and all of my documents are saved electronically. And I love being able to access files from my phone or computer. I suggest skipping the first step - scanning the existing paper files - as paper and paperless files can coexist. After the appropriate time such as 7 years, I shredded the paper files. This eliminated the scanning step. But I have a question for you and your viewers, what is the cost/value of keeping electronic files? It's so easy and convenient that I find I never purge any files. But does that come at a cost to me or the environment? Are there servers or tapes that are using energy by holding my decade-old utility bills?
They call it the Green Initiative. It reduces polution and other problems. But it also forces us to take ownership. It makes them more money as they give us less. And when the Next Carrington Event comes, almost all digital files could be lost.
It isn't just about environmental concerns, but also about clutter for a lot of people (me), convenience (also me), searchable records (me again) and cost (printer + ink + paper + shredding years later).
@@macmostThose sre all valif points. But I thnk the overarching points are really focussed on control. It might be impossible to avoid. But when we do have another Carrington Event, potentially all digital information will be wiped. If we have to printed records we could get into serious trouble.
No, most scanners come with an OCR software bundled. The SnapScan for instance comes with a version of Abby Finereader, but it only works with scanned Documents from this scanner.
@@gracesuarez3154 I was looking at the base model before. The more advanced one look pretty cool. If I had the need I'd consider it. But I already have 100% of my old documents already scanned, and get very few new documents (everything switched to digital).
@@macmost Yes, I saw that in your excellent video. I am 100% caught up as well, but I found that when some of the organizations to which I belong discovered I could digitize they prevailed upon me to do their archives. I certainly don't use my scanner much any more, but every once in a while a stray paper dares to enter. It gets captured quickly. Great videos by the way. I watch them religiously.
@@macmost yes, I wrote the comment while watching the video. You mentioned later in the video afternoon I post the comment. Your videos are very helpful. I’ll be using them to configure my new MBP to keep it clean and organized as possible. Thanks
Without having to buy a scanner. Do you know of any places that provide a scanning service you can take your documents to? Kinkos? Are they still around... LOL
There are many, but I've never used one. It is a good idea to save the money on a scanner and also not have another device to have to recycle. I'd search your area.
Gary, I use a Fujitsu ix1300 with their ScanSnap software on my MacMini running the latest OS without any issues? Was the software problem specific to the ix1400?
Would really like to see Apple (or maybe Google? ) develop a function where email receipts and/or attachments are automatically forwarded to a folder on iCloud. Or maybe I'm missing something, does this already exist somewhere? Thanks for the tips as always Gary!
Very timely! I was planning on scanning all of my old documents (about 20 years worth) this winter. The Fujitsu scanners are quite pricey considering I'd only use once per year (after the initial scanning) and I would be concerned it might not be supported after a few years. Anyone have any recommendations on a cheaper scanner that has feeder capability?
IRS doesn’t require documentation in the event of an audit past 7 years. My finance app keeps records longer than that. It’s important to use a finance app that allows for truncating old data.
Excellent information as usual. How do you minimise or reduce filesize when scanning documents on the iphone? My scans always seem to be massive even for just one page!
Look into the settings on your iPhone for scanning. There are there when you start a scan but easy to miss. But you can also just compress later on with something like ua-cam.com/video/_8D0UeiWD84/v-deo.html
I have one for Automator (courses.macmost.com -- look on the right side) and am thinking about one for Shortcuts. It would be a challenge though as I'd need to cover beginner's things for some people and advanced stuff for others. Plus it is very awkward and buggy at the moment.
Thanks very useful. I’ve done much the same thing & I’ve had time to think about the pros & cons. The cons are quite significant 1) Apple has your personal life in great detail & 2) should Rome burn down in one day…
I have the same issue with canon scanner. I have a great canon scanner, perfect for scanning photos. However I can't use it, because of lack of up-to-date drivers. This is insane...
Unfortunately my accountant insists I print every document before sending them to him. It doesn’t bother me that much for the paper, but my printer is only used for that purpose, and the printer ink heads get fooled by not using them, which means I keep buying expensive ink cartridges to replace ones that are not empty, just to please my accountant, who is not exactly cheap himself. Paperless world is around, for sure, but my accountant is not part of it.

How much storage do scammed documents take up? Did you keep all the records from 2001-2021 or offload some somewhere else
I went paperless a few years ago. In fact here in the UK you can save money by going paperless too.
