Are you a good 'filer' or are you more like Einstein and myself... do you walk out of someones office with business card in hand and immediately add it to your contacts? Yeah, me neither. Let me tell you about a couple of iPhone apps I found that are making organization a little easier. The first one (currently only available for iPhone but coming soon for Android) is "Card Munch". It works with LinkedIn and if you don't have a LinkedIn account then you probably need one anyway. Here is how it works. You install the program and the next time someone hands you a business card you use Card Munch to take a picture of the card. It allows you a place to take notes if you want to add them to the contact. It then adds all of the information into your Card Munch view and you can email or add it to your iPhone contacts. It is a brilliant program that seems to work flawlessly. It is easy to identify the records later as it adds the date it was scanned into the notes of the contact.The other app 'World Scan' is very nifty for snapping a picture of a document or image - receipt from your HVAC guy, notes from your boss - whatever you want - it crops and converts to a PDF which you can then store or send. It is loaded with a ton of features such as image enhancement - sizing the PDF to a specific print format - etc.
Hope these tools help you reduce your clutter and maybe give you more time to be your brilliant self!
