I pondered that question as I considered the new Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300 , which is being released to the market today. Perhaps the day will come when legal professionals will no longer need scanners, but for now, we most certainly still do, and in this age of working from home, this may well be the perfect one to get.

17 Amazing Ways a Hobonichi Techo 2022 Will Change Your Life

Attorney at Work

Hobonichi Techo planners have stolen my heart. As a verified card-carrying analog weirdo, my relationship with paper is multivalent and perhaps ever so slightly unhealthy. I nerd out over really great sticky notes. I write thank-you cards like it’s 1845. I go through pencils the way other people go through something they go through.
