A Paperless Life

By Jeff Wenker, Earth Class Mail

Creating a paperless life is a bold idea that addresses one of the primary challenges of our modern world. How can we regain control of our lives, lives that are slipping away from us bit by bit as time-consuming daily tasks stop us from doing the things we love?

In 2007, Tim Ferris, author of the provocative book “The 4-Hour Work Week” asked the following question: “What would you have to do to never again touch mail?” He then recommended Earth Class Mail (Thanks, Tim!)

We’ve been talking with many of our expat customers over the past few weeks and while they appreciate the mobility our service provides them when they’re abroad, they usually conclude by saying something like, “When I return to the states, I’m going to keep using your service. It’s greatly simplified my life.” (e.g., the story of Earth Class Mail customer Nancy Haferman in Singapore).

Let’s face it: people are busy. So busy, in fact, that an entire industry has evolved to help people better manage their lives. Websites like 43 Folders and Life Hacker typify the “Get Things Done” mentality.

Online postal mail is another in a growing list of technologies that can enhance personal productivity. We are constantly listening to our customers in order to refine and expand the service we provide because we know it’s helping them streamline their lives. That means more than just being efficient, it means freeing up time to do what matters most, however you want to define that.

If you have any ideas you’d like to share with your fellow Earth Class Mail customers, feel free to let us know and we’ll include them here or in our e-newsletter.
