Recipes.  Web pages.  Schedules.  Articles.  Instructions.  There are a myriad of docs that are printed on any given day because we “might need them someday.”  Before you hit the print button, ask yourself these questions first:

  • Do I need to print this or can I read/use it on screen?
  • If I need portability, can I get the same information on my smartphone?
  • How difficult will it be find the information if I need it in the future?
  • If I print it, will I put it in a place that I can refer back to it again AND not print it again?

Make a practice of asking yourself these questions before printing and you’ll cut back on your paper clutter (and save a few trees, too).
