Going paperless will change your life.
That may sound like an exaggeration, but it’s not. We ditched our filing cabinet and unorganized piles of paperwork scattered throughout our house 10+ years ago, and it has been the single most important organization and productivity change we’ve made as a family.
Since that time, we’ve improved and refined our process, helped many friends and family members go paperless, and taught 1,000+ students to do the same. We can help you conquer your paper clutter and increase your peace of mind by going paperless as well.
We're excited to announce that our new course-- Paperless Made Simple-- is now available!
[regularly $297]

"I wish I had this YEARS ago! Donnie makes this simple and easy. He explains everything step by step with great visuals. I was able to back up and watch things again if I didn't quite understand it... I also really liked how Abby and Donnie gave several gentle reminders to start with paperwork that is currently coming in, not trying to start with the years of backlogged paperwork so that it doesn't cause frustration... I am so excited about how life changing this will be!"
