As I prepare to become truly mobile (something I’m seeking as I look for ways to save bucks), I’ve decided that I’ll keep my client records archived back on the farm, with a digital copy on my computer for reference. I’ll be using a minimum amount of paper. First because piles of paper are unseemly and they take up valuable space and second because I want to be digitally organized.
In this quest, I found a pretty interesting little piece of equipment for organizing myself. For just over $7 (after tax was added), I purchased a Pembrook Superfile.
