I like to see what someone is charging me because I’ve caught so many companies pulling a fast one over the years that I don’t trust anyone! Finally, we could set up auto-pay but I think that’s a really risky maneuver. We could also just set up a scheduled time to pay bills but we’re not that structured, believe it or not. A piece of paper on my desk that is screaming “You owe us money!” is much more compelling than an email that I might not want to deal with right away and am in danger of leaving unread. This is probably an “old habits die hard” situation, but our brains are wired to pay bills when paper shows up at the house. In any case, I’m glad he took it over.īefore I explain why I’m doing so much whining about scanning, I should probably answer the question so many of you are yelling into your devices, and that’s “Why are you still getting paper bills?” Or maybe he got tired of the giant stack of unscanned papers I’d leave on top of the filing cabinet because I’d procrastinate so long since I hated it that much.
Maybe he got tired of hearing me whine about it. I have no idea why he volunteered for such a thankless job. Luckily Steve took over the scanning task from me a while back. When the rules work properly, it makes scanning about 80% less annoying, but that’s still a lot of annoying left over.
My scanner pro how to#
I watched David Sparks awesome 2.5 hour Hazel Video Field Guide where I learned how to have Hazel recognize the optical character recognition (OCR), find the dates on bills and such, rename the files to have the name of the company and the billing date on them, and finally whisk them off to my Drobo network attached storage. I hate how they have to be updated all the time.Ībout the only part I like about scanning is having Hazel triage my scans. I hate that ScanSnap installs so many apps.
I hate fighting with getting the pages into the scanner correctly. I hate making room on my desk for all the unscanned papers and for the ones that shoot out of the scanner. I hate dragging out my Fuji ScanSnap scanner. I hate scanning almost as much as I hate printing, and I really hate printing.
