2. Are you hemmed in by filing cabinets and shelving units?
3. Have you taken over your children’s closets?
4. Does the living room look like an extension of your office?
5. Do you have to move a pile of papers off of your printer to use it?

7. Do you have to move boxes off of chairs when company comes over?
8. Does your entire house look like an office building?
