I am as close to paperless as I think I can ever be, thanks to Gmail. I have a website for patients, which I started longer ago than I care to say. Before Gmail, and its generous storage, I kept clippings to write from if they weren't for that day but were interesting...they stacked up and get yellow...and it just never worked as I wanted. Now I email journal abstracts to myself so I always have originals. I email news stories which I won't write from but which have interesting background info, too. I have on my laptop every journal article I wanted to save, etc...and instead of having to be super organized (some stories could fit into any number of topics)...all I need to do is search mail to find what I am looking for.
