Okay... this might sound like a product placement, but those who know me know it's not.
'Fujitsu ScanSnap 1500'. The single best awesome anti-anxiety device ever.
It has freed my mind of paper clutter. Here's a recent IM I had with a coworker. (He has ADHD too)
------
Coworker --
BTW: really loving the scanner. Thanks for the advice! It improves aspects of my organizing life I didn't expect
Me--
I know, it's awesome isn't it?
Coworker --
yep. I found that there is a whole sticking point in my willingness to get rid of paper around not being certain whether something might or might not be valuable some day that I discovered was paralyzing
It would turn the whole sorting thing into a disappointment.
But now, if I have that question, I just say: ok, I'll scan it and toss it. And it's gone!
-------
It's super expensive at 400$, but if you have paper clutter and can stretch yourself a bit, it's so worth it.
