I’m Getting My Home Office Reorganized
A home office has become a necessary space in many homes. Whether you set up a corner office in your kitchen, designate a guest room to double as your office, or set up a location in your basement, it’s crucial that your home office include all the elements that contribute to your productivity, efficiency and overall success. Whatever space you choose, make sure it’s a space that can be dedicated to your office, and doesn’t double as a space for multiple projects.
My home office is upstairs and it use to be a bedroom, however I got rid of the bed so it would feel more like an office. Now if someone visits they have to use my air mattress and unfortunately it leaks air so they sometimes end up on the floor. I don’t want to make it so comfortable that they will stay forever because then I would never be able to use my office for work.
Today I started reorganizing my office space. I had a nice day with Bill yesterday and we did get to take a nice long ride on the bike. I think we did close to 85 miles or more. I will dread the day when we get too old to ride it’s so relaxing.
Take a look at your space and see what you can do easily and inexpensively to spruce it up and make it conducive to working from home. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint, some strategically hung pictures or some simple stencil work can brighten up an otherwise dreary corner. In my office I also have some of my exercise equipment so I can take time out from my work and stretch and get the circulation moving again.
If your just getting around to setting up your space look around your house to see what furnishings you already have. If there’s a small unused table that could double as a desk, use it. You’ve probably got a comfortable chair in your dining room that could work fine as an office chair. I used my barber chair for awhile til Bill surprised me with a nice swivel, rollable office chair Look around your home for some usable pieces that can be brought together successfully to create a comfortable and relaxing home office environment.
You probably already have book shelves, bins, baskets, boxes and a filing cabinet that could be incorporated into your office. If you don’t already have office supplies available, visit your favorite office supply or discount store and stock up on a few needed items and get your space organized.
Eventually I want to get a Futon so it will be more comfy when Bill comes into visit my office and also it would double as a bed for those poor people that have had to use my air mattress. At any rate I better get back to organizing or it will not get done.
