2019年12月英语六级阅读模拟训练 I have worked with so many people over the years that have made me wonder
how on earth they can work at their desk when everything that was in their
drawers and in their filing cabinets has ended up in piles on top of their
keyboard. One co-worker of mine couldn't remember what clour the top of his desk
was! J had to say something. but when J did, he told me that he knew where
everything was and needed all that paperwork for different projects he was
working on.
Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for
misplaced files and paperwork at the office. People gel really defensive when
you tell them that their desk is a mess. They say that they don't have time to
clean up. as they are too busy. And if they would file certain items they would
forger co work on it and would therefore miss the deadline.
Hence. first things first. get yourself some folders and a black marker.
Take every piece of paper on your desk one by one and file them. Make sure that
everything you need to do with these papers is written down on a "to-do" list or
even better in your computer organiser. For example. if you have to work on your
budget next Monday, write down "work on budget" in your computer organiser so
that when Monday comes, your computer will send you a reminder that you need co
work on your budget today. Then file that paper in a folder named "budget". Put
that folder away-not on your desk!! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way
with every bit of information that clutters your desk. Do not get distracted by
a form that reminds you that you need to do something. Instead. jot it down on
your "to-do" list or in your organiser. You won't forget it as it has been
written down. File it and move on. Keep focused. Only do one thing at a time for
the moment and that is to organise and clean your desk.
