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

1 feel like going to home before you’ve
even started work.

never file away important
3 documents because they are
afraid of not being able to
4 find them out. However, it

5 office worker spends surely
