Keep copies of the papers you would hate to lose
Keep a photograph of every important paper in one locked album on your phone.
A photograph of your passport will not get you through an airport. It will let you fill out a form at eleven at night, without the drawer upstairs.
Key points
- Make an album for documents and lock it behind your fingerprint
- Say what a photograph of a document is good for, and what it is not
- Add to it whenever a new piece of paper arrives
What to remember
- Every phone can make an album, and most can lock one.
- A working copy, not a legal one — and worth locking.
Try this
Photograph one document tonight and put it in a new album called Important papers. The album is the hard part.
