Eight Home Office Tips
This CNN site takes a chapter from Lisa Kanarek's Home Office Life to help those working at home to choose the proper room for their home office and then to set up their home office in both an efficient manner and in such a way that it impinges on the rest of the home as little as possible. Tips include such things as carefully evaluating each and every space in your home to determine the best place for your home office, even if your office is already set up; there could be a better place. When making your choice there are many considerations such as determining if you will actually use the space, then there are questions of lighting, distractions, number of electrical outlets, ease of arranging file cabinets and equipment as well as questions of home traffic patterns. Other tips include buying comfortable chairs and other furniture, using a scanner to scan paperwork into the computer so the paperwork itself can be discarded, eliminating the need for paper files as much as possible. For the person working at home, this article contains a great deal of information, some of it common sense and some of it not so obvious, but all of it valuable.
