Exceptions
Sometimes, the layout of the room makes it impossible to implement the above principles completely.
In those cases, do the best you can. If you have a cubicle, for example, you may just have to put up with having your back to the entrance of your work area because that’s simply how most cubicles are designed. If that’s the way it has to be, that’s fine.
If you are in an office, doors and windows can often be in weird places that limit your options.
