I did so offline. I'll repeat the essentials for the edification of the group.

When the "essential junk" gets in the way of "enjoyable work", yes 
there is a problem. Peter mentioned that he would like to get to his 
workbench and tools without climbing over stuff, so I think there is 
a problem there.

I'm in the midst of correcting an 11 year old accumulation of junk 
which rendered my "office" or "study" an unusable, unwalkable-in, 
pile of crapula. A lot of what's there is actually trash - either 
obsolete paper, or things saved for projects that are simply never 
going to happen, or things that seemed like a good idea at the time, 
but probably were not. The non-trash has been well hidden, so I can 
never find anything that's in there, or even get to it past other 
stuff that's in the way. I'm removing everything, sorting out the 
trash, and organizing what's left. After which, I might actually be 
able to USE the space for something, and find things I have when I 
want to use them.
