Create the Ultimate Home Office




The key to being successful at working from home is maximizing your productivity. The best way to ensure you get the most out of your home-office days is to create the ultimate home office for yourself. 


Start with a dedicated workspace. Whether it’s a bedroom turned office, or a portion of a room that you will use for work, have a space that is dedicated to just working. A desk and chair that is the proper height for your body, the necessities (tape, staples, pens, pencils, etc), and depending on your work, any other things needed to accomplish your tasks. For graphic designers that may include a computer, mouse, keyboard and drawing tablet, for a writer it may just be a laptop and printer. For those who design or craft handmade objects, your workspace may include a worktable instead of a desk. Have, at the ready a whiteboard for ideas you can revisit later, a radio or access to music or low background noise, and a bottle of water to keep your body and brain hydrated.

Aside from having a clean, dedicated workspace and the furniture and accessories, your ultimate home office should be without some things in order to ensure productivity. Eliminate distractions; leave your phone in a separate room, and your food in the kitchen.
