Nick's Paperless Home!
One of my major goals is a paperless home, but we all know it is hard to be totally paperless.
BUT...
I finally did it for my recipes...I finally set up a kitchen laptop to hold all the scanned recipes I have saved on various discs. I have a few Chromebooks laying around that are perfect for “paperless” projects like the one I just CRUSHED.
So...how did I do it?
- Grab a Chromebook or laptop you are not using.
- Transfer any files you have on that device to a portable drive or a set of DVDs. You want this device’s storage empty.
- Open Google Slides – it is free and easy to use. Search within this app for the “Recipe” template.
- Customize this recipe template to your liking – make it as basic or as fancy as you want. Check out my template pictures below.
- Make sure you can access your Gmail or other email account on this Chromebook or laptop. Open your email or files containing recipes and then copy and paste each recipe into the Google Slides template. Use a “new” slide for each recipe. You can also email this computer any scanned documents you may have on another computer.
- Google Slides will save each recipe automatically. Repeat the copy/paste step until you are done.
I have so many recipes to copy and paste – so – this process is going to take a while to complete. This is a perfect fall/winter project for me.
- I am also planning on creating another Google Slides file to store other scanned documents I have stored all over the place.
I am slowly making my home “paperless” - YAY FOR ME!!
Crushing and Loving Life!!
