Organizing Your Home Office
By Lisa Lelas

As more people make the decision to work from their homes to save time and money, they have to be realistic about their expectations. Working from home actually takes a bit of creative strategizing. To be productive in a home office environment, we must utilize the space effectively and reduce the usual distractions.

Define your home office space, even if your office is a corner of the family room or kitchen. Keep all office-related items in one place to create an efficient central spot and eliminate wasted time looking all over the house for things you need.

Set up your home office with the same basic tools used in larger businesses. You need ample desk space, office supplies, filing cabinets, calendar, waste basket, phone, answering machine and a computer.

Now that you’re eager to change your unorganized inboxes, here are some tips to help you on your way. [Read more...]
