Through indentifying the different locations of various papers, it is easy for us to know those hot files, warm files and cold files. In addition, paper can avoid some troubles caused by computers.
Paraphrase: An important pile of documents including those urgent ones, which should be dealt at once is next to the open workspace at the center of the desk and possibly close to the phone.
