I have looked at paperless in the past and just asked why? I just spent a little time setting it up to see what it was about, then I spent hours configuring it and my email server creating paperless email addresses that other emails forward to! I cannot believe I have lived this long without it.

The main problem with Paperless is me. I just can't be arsed to scan stuff, even though it's almost entirely automated. The only thing that isn't automated is me putting the paper into the scanner. Why am i like this?

Yeah you could not get me to go back in time to scan all of my docs but from now on a bunch of my emails automatically added to paperless, and I have found that I am actually putting things in there on my own now that it is installed and a bunch of automations happen.
