First things first – you need the technology to go paperless.
Most people can start out with a smartphone to capture images of unwanted paper, but eventually I think it’s best to get a good scanner. When I was an auditor I used a Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner, and I know that they work really well even after being used intensely for a while. The version that I got works with a Mac or PC, and it can wirelessly scan to the Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and more.

It’s an amazing scanner – the quality is incredible! I don’t feel guilty about scanning cards, kids’ artwork, photos, etc. – otherwise sentimental items are so well-preserved that I don’t feel bad scanning and discarding the originals.
I like having a portable ASUS monitor that connects to my laptop that I use to multi-task – a must-have for me at tax-time. It’s nice not having to print out the supporting documentation for the tax returns that I prepare – I just pull up the document on one screen, and do the preparation on the other. Super easy.
