Clear Your Desk!
0    Can you barely see your desk at the work for the mountain
00  of paperwork on it? If this is the case then you probably
1    feel like going to home before you’ve even started work.
2    As some people argue that they never file away important
3    documents because they are afraid of not being able to
4    find them out. However, it has been calculated that the average
5    office worker spends surely around 22 minutes per day looking
6    for lost paperwork because of it hadn’t been filed correctly.
7    Some people’s desks are so much cluttered with paper and
8    equipment that they hardly have had any space left for working
9    on. Think how much more productive and creative they
10  could be with a clear desk! Don’t fall on into the trap of
11  thinking about that clutter can only be of the paper variety.
12  The principles of desk-clearing can also be apply to the storing
13  of electronic documents on computer. It could be time to go
14  through your hard disk and delete any of files that you do not
15  need anymore or at least to copy them onto an ordered system
      of floppy disks.
