Key to textExercise 1 Correct mistakes CAE

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 CDs.
