Question 7: Is there order in your court?

  • Is your home office set up for efficiency? Do you waste time looking for files and supplies?
  • Have the children outgrown some of their toys? Would a few playthings find a better home with a favorite charity?
  • When was the last time you cleaned out your clothes closets? The English-pine cabinets in Oprah's closets were designed to look like a store—and function just as well.
