A note on doing taxes... One of the less delightful parts of doing taxes for me has been, in years past, having to find all the #&*^@$%#! receipts (especially for charitable contributions and tax payments). That's because all I'd have would be a shoe-box full of slips of paper, in totally unorganized form. What a pain!
This year it was a breeze – because all I had to do was to type a few key words into DevonThink (the software that organizes the scans I now make of all my receipts) and in well under a second it found each and every receipt I was looking for. It's almost unbelievable how big a difference it is for me between now and then, and at negligible cost in terms of my effort. It's way easier than a manual filing system, which takes considerable effort throughout the year. This is more like a shoe-box with a magical “find it!” capability.
I can't believe I didn't do this five years ago, when it first started to look practicable. Dang it!
