Paperless Office

For the last several days, I have logged in at 6:00 am, fully intending on writing a great blog about a lesson I learned on my most recent appraisal assignment.  However this morning, rather then spending two hours creating a blog, and sharing about the appraisal assignment, I am writing about how easy it is to get to distracted from your original intentions.  At 6:00 am, sitting down to write, but first "let me clear this one thing on my desk, I promised to scan and email a copy of an appraisal to someone".  Sounds simple.  I typically start out by scanning the document to my desktop computer, even though there is that feature on my fabulous all in one printer, email, scanner to simply scan and email the document directly.  How long could it possibly take to do that "thing" I have been putting off; adding my email address to the printer/scanner thus eliminating a step and adding one more automated feature which will enhance my productivity.  Two hours later, after much reading, googling, security settings and g suite email smtp protocols I can now email from my scanner!  Look for an appraisal blog later this week.  If you need help adding your email to your scanner I am now an expert, just reach out.
