Over the years, we have worked with a number of clients to help them implement the Paper Tiger and get their offices and time under control! We know for sure that the software is not just for paper! In this 3-part series, I will share some of the different ways that Paper Tiger clients have used the software. Basically, anything you can number, you can Paper Tiger!
|
Videos – Do you have a huge video collection? By numbering the edge of the case and the video itself you have an easy way to match the case and video. You can use Paper Tiger to record the title, production company (Disney), type (comedy, SciFi, cartoon, etc.), owner (mom, dad, son, etc.) |
|
Storage Containers – We use Paper Tiger to help with family communication. All of our storage containers are numbered & placed in numerical order in our basement. I type in the keyword & the container number comes up in seconds. It is much easier to ask my husband to get box #10 than to ask him to get the Fall decorations! |
|
Moving Boxes - Numbers are placed on the box with a description of the contents entered into the Paper Tiger. You can use the category for the name of the room the box should go to. A description of the contents is entered for each box. Unpacking becomes a breeze! |
|
Bank/Fire Boxes – If you have a special spot that you store your precious items, make sure you remember what is stored in what location. Make sure to tell your emergency contact where your inventory in the event that you cannot get to it. |
|
Inventory – Insurance agents frequently tell us that we should have a documentation of our belongings in the event of a disaster. Paper Tiger is a fabulous tool to identify the important items in your home. |
|
Storage Sheds – While we would like you to consider de-cluttering before paying for multiple storage sheds, that is not always possible. Many use Paper Tiger to identify the contents of each storage unit. |
There are so many great ways you can use the Paper Tiger software that I’m breaking the thoughts into 3 articles! Pick out the ones that work the best for you. What have you used Paper Tiger for? Tweet me at @StephCalahan and let me know.
