You’ve got a home-based business. Or you work remotely for an employer. Either way, you plan to make working from home work. From choosing the right desk and storage setup, to avoiding common telecommuting pitfalls, here are some helpful ideas—including productivity tips from experts.
Are you bogged down with paper…or are you a minimalist, perfectly comfortable with e-files and Cloud based backups? Is it mostly computer work, or are you up to your neck with bulky books and piles of files? Before you buy…consider your needs carefully.
For the Computer Savvy:
Choose a desk designed for computer use. Look for built-in cutouts to organize electrical cords. Prefer a separate keyword for your laptop? Drop-front drawers are designed just for that.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
