#going paperless

Great question!

The picture above is a stack of all of the paper I used (not including the ones that the university provided) over one year of my undergrad degree. 

Times this by 3 and I roughly had three kilos of paper that was stuffed inside every crevice possible and spread across my student house and my parents house. So that’s reason 1: I need the space

Reason 2 is that I’m disorganised with paper. I’ll take a note of a webinar or a detail on any of the dozens of notebooks I (used to) own and then never be able to refer to them again. Theres *no* point to doing this.

And lastly, reason 3 is my back. Unlike a lot of you, I have in-person university now and a hefty laptop and textbooks to lug around (which is different to my undergrad) and I’d rather not add paper to that list.

However, during my face to face meetings, I couldn’t use this feature without shaking my screen. Maybe I could use my phone on a tripod?

HRAI (HR Association of India) recently asked me to be in a panel discussion on Green HR. HRAI is led by some enthusiastic, young HR professionals. So when they reach out, I always agree. But one peculiar characteristic of HRAI is that they first sign you up for a talk/panel discussion & only much later, after you have accepted, they inform you the topic. Sometimes this can be disconcerting, as…

How I’m becoming paperless

The past couple of years I have tried and failed and tried and failed to become paperless at home and in the office.  I think I’ve posted a few times about my attempts and then eventually I give up because it becomes difficult to maintain.  I will admit that it is not the easiest thing to do and I find myself many times a day reaching for a pen and paper to jot down a quick note only to remember…
