If you're watching this video, then you want to  know how to scan and organize all kinds of things in your life like paperwork, receipts, photos, business cards, and other kinds of documents. Stay tuned and I'll show you everything  that you need for a total scanning system and my best practices for scanning, naming, organizing, and storing scanned items. At the end, I'll tell you how you can download my template  for keeping all of your records together so that you can get the most out of scanning and  organizing your documents. Keep watching. Here's the roadmap of everything that we'll be  covering in this video. First we'll look at the kinds of things that you'll need to scan  and organize your items. Then we'll start by covering standard paperwork. Then we'll look at  receipts. And next we'll look at photos and albums. Finally we'll look at business cards and other  things that may not fit in a conventional scanner. If at any time you want to ask a question  that's specific to you and your situation, please comment below and I'll try my best to  respond promptly. To prepare for making this video, I let my paperwork build up for a while so that  I can show you how we're going to go from this, a mess of over 400 pages of paperwork, 200  receipts, 1,200 photos, and 600 business cards, to this, a clean and organized box which contains  everything that we've scanned, a simple folder system on my computer containing all of my  scanned documents, and an easy to use template which provides a record of all of my documents. The  two most important pieces of equipment that you'll need are a scanner and a computer with enough  storage space to hold your scanned documents. You'll also need to know how to install and  use software on your computer which interfaces with your scanner and assists with organizing  documents. Because there are so many computer and scanner models available, I'll leave it to you  to decide what kind of equipment is best for you. However, if you want recommendations, please see  my YouTube channel for different product reviews. At current, some of the best scanners on the  market include ones from Fujitsu, Epson, Kodak, Canon, Brother, Raven, and Doxie. With respect to your  computer, how much storage space you'll need will depend on how big your scan jobs are and how  often you're scanning. If you find that you don't have enough space, you can always purchase  an external storage drive like this one. This is the Western Digital My Book which was named by PC  Magazine as this year's best external hard drive. Because it's important to have a dependable  backup, it's worth it to get an external drive like this which is made by a reputable company. In addition to using a computer and a scanner, I'll also be recommending that you use a  smartphone with a stand like this one for some scan...
