Lubbers, Lubbers and More Lubbers

Since my first post I have heard from another Lubbers that there were two groups of Lubbers.  My Lubbers came from Bentheim and the other from the Netherlands.  Since my group had so many children there are tons scattered all over West Michigan and other locals.  The dutch Lubbers seem to be centered around Zeeland area and I don't know how many or what the descendant count is looking like.  And since the first house post, I had my disaster so I'm spending lots of time trying to get everything back into the file.  But going along with my paperless status, I'm shredding paper files that are not original and I have digitally copies of.

Paper Free Office

So at work, we are needing more space but have limited storage.  This makes me think of the mythical paperless office.  So I did some research and found some ideas of how to get started.  But the suggestions are actually better for my home.  I kind of hate mail.  There is just so much paper all the time.  My kids are out of school so I'm not even seeing that flow of paper.  Yet I feel like there is just too much paper all over the place.  It also doesn't help that my husband writes things down on random pieces of paper and leaves them in his pocket or laying around the house.

So I'm forging ahead to eliminate paper clutter.  Mail should go in one spot, scan and tag and then shred that sucker!

UPDATE:  I didn't post this before but I have been making an effort to move paper along faster.  I did purchase a new scanner (I love scanners!).  And it is better than I thought it would be.  I did choice one with OCR since, if I'm getting a new scanner might as well have something I didn't before!  Since my home scanner is even better than the work one, I'm bring paperwork home to scan and eliminate more clutter!!
