Share 'How hard is it?'

Ok, I am finally trying to go paperless, but having a very hard time to justify it. My folders are usually between 1 to 1.5 inches thick. I just do not see spending the extra time, scanning, converting to PDF, and so on. As we all know time is money. So what is the best way. I am looking forward to Brian class next month in Phi. PA, but have been trying to get a start on it.
