Experience of auditing brain in real life

Through my working experience and studying life of auditing nowadays, I found that people who have worked as the auditor got the habit of keeping evidence, even in non-auditing work area, for instance, he/she have a brain of making copy of each document, email cc boss for everything he/she did, idea of "maintain the original site", etc.

I do think this a kind of sophisticated behaviour in work and it does help and protect you in some bad situation you may come across, but what I want to mention is, for example, the habit of cc boss everything you did, in my opinion you have to judge by yourself whether this email or business really need to inform him/her, besides, it is preferable if you can know his/her character or attitude about information, because some bosses prefer to know everything in the business, but some, especially higher level bosses don't want to know that they think "teeny-tiny thing", or  they actually don't have the time to read your email. Just imagine, a busy higher level boss has a whole day meeting and he/she didn't do anything he/she supposed do in that day, when he/she opened the email box, a list of mails are from you, and all about the "teeny-tiny thing" which maybe your intention is to tell him/her that you did this, it is probable this will drive him/her nuts and this is the adverse impact of your auditing brain.
