Is Your Home Office Functional?
We would all like to find just a little more time in each day to enjoy what we Really like to do. The dream of working from a home office can quickly be exciting. Take away the commute, the need to be "dressed" every day and the stress of the daily office routine.
Be honest. What was this space being used before it became your home office? Was it a storage area, workspace or a guest bedroom? Turning it into a functional and operational home office can be difficult. This is a common challenge for many solopreneurs and entrepreneurs. Your designated space needs to function solely as a home office and nothing else! It is not a bedroom, workout room or family room. It is Your Office! So how do you get it organized?
1. Turn your room into an office. Remove what doesn't belong. Throw out the trash and broken things. Place things that you don't use very often into a donate bin. Put things back where they belong - find them a home somewhere besides your home office. Keep your vision in mind.
2. Setting up your home office. You will need a place for files. Even if you are a brand new business, you will need to have a filing system to make sure that you keep everything that you need handy. The floor is not a filing cabinet! I like the lateral file cabinets the best, are easier to work with and hold more files than the traditional file cabinets.
