Household Tools - Office

I took a look around my office this morning and realized that many of the tools have to do with paper - staplers, binder clips, scissors, letter opener. Having those tools around has not changed in decades. But my use of them has declined considerably over the past 10 years because I am using less paper - keeping things electronically rather than printing them. 

• My grocery lists are done with the OurGroceries app. I check things off on my Kindle as I shop.
• I decided to not print things I write for proofreading or backup. Those activities can be done electronically - with no paper involved at all.
• More of what I read is online to begin with so I have links on a ‘favorites’ list (usually associated with my web browser) rather than pages torn from a magazine to file away.
  

I do still sometimes jot down something on a post-it note. I’ve noticed that my office paper recycle bag is mostly small pieces of colored paper these days rather than the 8.5x11 inches that used to spew out of the printer pretty frequently. Do I need these paper related tools….and others like rulers and highlighters? I do use them occasionally but I am approaching a time when I might decide to freecycle them all!
