- Data Entry requires meticulous attention to detail.
- Lack of concentration and boredom can lead to simple mistakes being made.
- Good idea to work without distractions when doing this work e.g.
mobile phones, chatting in between work, although this is not always possible.
- Double check work and do a final proof reading before finally saving work - it's amazing how simple errors can be made and overlooked.
Better still get someone else to check it over as sometimes staring at the same information for too long the eyes can miss errors.

negligence..
wasting time in doing & finishing work..

data encoder requires full attention, focus & approximate performance & keen checking in the data which you entered..
after everything was done..
review is the best last resort...
