I recently overheard my husband explaining what a “cloud” is (in reference to internet and stored data). How did I miss this one? I’m the techie in the family and I never thought about storing my data in this magical cloud that he referred to. What happens when your computer crashes, or worse – your basement floods taking down important documents you had stored in filing cubbies? This happened to us and it was a mess. We lost medical files, college paperwork, bills, you name it. Since that happened, we have been looking for an online solution to store our information. We needed help on how to get organized.
I had the opportunity to work with AboutOne which is a company that specializes in digital filing system and more . You can store all the necessary information with accessibility right at your fingertips. I especially love their idea on storing school records. Not only can you store all the information from your child’s report card, but you can also use AboutOne as a memory “book” to keep track of the projects your child worked on, the school trips your child took, and the teacher’s name for that specific grade. You can add photos with just a click of a button! For those in college, AboutOne is a great tool to keep track of your transcript. I went to 3 different colleges. Each time I transferred, I needed information on the previous classes I took. What a mess. I had to go to my previous college, PAY for my own information, then take it to the new college. When there was a discrepancy in any information, I had to repeat the process. I wish there were digital filing cabinets available for me at that time!
I know that my daughter’s pediatrician stores all of his patients’ data on a similar program so that he has easy access to it no matter which office or hospital he is when that important phone call comes in. These digital filing cabinets seem to be the way the world is moving these days, so don’t get left behind!
Need more information on how to declutter? You can sync your AboutOne account with the special reporting tools that are included in their package. You can use your smartphone and scanner to upload important paperwork, videos, and images that you want to keep safe. This is also a great way to share special family milestones with loved ones who live far away. AboutOne has a variety of features that can be used throughout the year to help organize the various aspects of your life. Your information is safe and secure!
