- What hours do you need to work?

- Where the best location is to set up your office.

The list goes on and on

Does this ring any bells?
"An important client calls needing to talk about the quote you gave them a few days earlier and you can't remember where you put the paperwork. You try to stall the client while frantically looking for the information."
What do you think the client on the other end of the phone is thinking? Do you sound like someone who they want to do business with? Even if you don't have a business and your home computer is used for keeping your personal information - having the space organised and a good filing system is vital.
Every aspect of your office will be reviewed to see whether it is serving you well, or whether it is restricting you from doing want.
