Bring your physical and virtual receipts and tickets together into one place
new.space is my short-term memory for 🎟️ and 🧾
You get ‘em, I get ‘em, we all get tickets or receipts – sometimes as paper and sometimes as email. Some are QR codes on our phone and some are paper we worry about losing. It can be stressful to keep up with it all.
This was an issue for me recently: my partner and I were visiting a museum, and I had an email with two PDFs. I wanted to get these into a shared place we both have access to so she doesn’t have to ask me for her ticket, and so I can’t accidentally lose them for both of us 😅
Using new.space on iOS, I made a space, shared the PDFs into it, and even added a link for directions to the museum for good measure. I shared the space’s link with her and we were ready to go. We both knew how to get there and could show our ticket anytime we needed. 💪
Receipts are even a bigger problem for me. I've got a stack of paper receipts on my desk and a long list of emailed receipts in my inbox. Before new.space, it was really tough to keep track of them all. Now, I throw them all in my Important Receipts space and go about my day. 🚶
For example, I've recently gotten back into film photography, and I get a paper receipt when I drop off my negatives to get developed. I'm stressed about losing this receipt. So, now, I take a quick photo of it using new.space on iOS, add it to my Important Receipts space, and relax knowing it'll be there when I go back to pick up my photos.
Also, whenever I receive a PDF receipt in my email, I just drag it over to my Important Receipts space on new.space and archive the email. If I need to find that receipt, I know where to look.
💆 Getting everything into one place has really reduced my anxiety about losing stuff and lets me focus on enjoying the things we are actually doing.
What are some things you keep track of that are both physical and virtual? How has new.space helped you stay more organized?
