My Paperless Filing System

[@angelweengz]

Could you please do more videos about how you do digital filing (incoming papers)?? That would be awesome. I'm trying to go mostly digital.

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Yes! I am planning more on this subject! Please add any specific questions you have and I will answer them on an upcoming video!

[@angelweengz]

@@thegoodnessmargin awesome! Maybe showing how you take 2-5 diff types of paper that come in and take it through your whole process (saving it on multiple drives and what you name it and maybe a naming folder structure guide. Then how you would search it to find it at a later point.)

[@angelweengz]

And how often do you back all three sources up....and what program do you use to keep digital files

[@umbrellahole]

I know this isn't important but with the tire example 12:32, you can determine if tires are new and the age of the tire by tread depth , those little hairs it has, and on the side of the tire there will be 4 numbers kinda like this #### the first 2 numbers are the week of the year the tires were made and the second set are the year for instance if it was made during the 32 week of 2020 the code would be 3220. I know this was just an example but it's relevant information.

Good to know!

Thank you for this video. You have inspired me to start sorting my paperwork. Very clear instructions and easy to follow.

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Hi, are you using a tool? Only one backup? You should have a look on the project paperless-ngx

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Thanks!

Love this information thank you! Would love to see the way you organise your paperless business categories!

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Thank you! I have a paperless video on all things business related coming out at the end of this month! (March 2022)

Most of the owners manuals and repair manuals are available online .

[@thegoodnessmargin]

They are. It’s good to keep a list of what you need if you don’t download them.

Excelentes dicas. Eu iniciei um projeto de digitalização de documentos pessoais e vou me inspirar em seu sistema. Obrigado.

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Thank you!

[@natemaeve5565]

Is there any applications that can be installed that act as filing storage of ecopies of documents,? One which can be programmed to sort out documents based on the nature of it and the likes?

[@thegoodnessmargin]

I don’t know if a program. I save the files under names that I can search for.

[@rebeccatexas01]

Do you delete things off of your computer once you have put things on your hard drive and flash drives. What do you do to keep your back ups of the hard drive ?

[@thegoodnessmargin]

I use a flash drive to keep a back up of the hard drive. I just copy it over occasionally. I do delete the items from my computer using the secure trash feature once I move them to the hard drive.

[@dianekeppel5071]

Is there any reason you scan bank statements when they are available online via your bank login?

[@thegoodnessmargin]

Great question! Some of my business statements I prefer to have the paper statement in front of me when I reconcile. But if it’s online I save it to the hard drive directly from the website. I know they are online, but I prefer to have my own copy saved. :) Also, some banks only go so far back with saving them for you.
