As a companion to the research about how much time is wasted processing email is news that more than one working week a year is wasted searching for shared documents.

According to the survey
*41% of respondents spend 10 minutes every day looking for documents *37% of respondents spend half an hour or more looking for documents.


Documents saved onto other people’s desktops and documents being saved in the wrong place were the two main reasons for the problem. The survey goes on to say that 21 percent of the workers admitted they only save documents onto shared servers "when I have to." A further 3 percent admitted they never saved documents onto a shared server.

Who are the bigger fools -- the ones who won't save to a shared folder, or the ones who spend a half hour looking before they call the document owner and ask?
