Everyone wants to be productive, but working with paper can slow you down, and rob you of hours you could be using to get something done. We believe that working with paper documents is inefficient, and that online storage is the perfect solution. In a recent article on Boston.com, the inefficiencies of working with paper were outlined with some concerning numbers regarding how paper slows us down, and stresses us out.
Taken from a Boston consultancy, the article featured statistics noting that 15 percent of paper used in business is lost, and that 30 percent of employee time is spent trying to locate paper documents! With numbers like those, paper is eating up a scary amount of time and money – $120 per lost document according to the article.
On top of fiscal losses, piles of disorganized paper create stress for employees. In the article, business psychologist Ross DeSimmone describes a cycle by which employees get down on themselves, do less because of lowered energy, feel inefficient, and it starts again. As you might imagine, panicked rummaging through stacks of documents with the pressure of an important deadline weighing down isn’t the best practice for one’s mental and emotional health. Habits like these wear us out, slow us down, and stress us out.
Conversely, there are few better feelings than completing a task quickly and efficiently, impressing superiors and inspiring co-workers. Wouldn’t you rather be congratulated on a job well done rather than constantly hounded for missing documents?
