Workspace Design

What does your workspace look like?

Does it inspire you to be productive?

Is it well-organized?

Are you comfortable in it?

All of these questions, and more, are what you need to ask yourself in order to get the most from your designated space (and you should definitely have a “designated space”!). Even if you only work from home part time, it’s important that your home office is one where you can produce and effectively grow your output.

If you feel as though you’re struggling in this area, then we invite you to take a look at Maggie Shoonmaker’s article on ways to Design and Organize a Great Home Office over at the Daily Camera website.

For many who are starting out on a tight budget, it may not be feasible to shop for new furnishings for a home office, but we suggest that you regularly check with your local Freecycle, as well as with CraigsList (including their freebie section) for items that you can pick up for free, or at a very low cost, to decorate your home office. At this time of year, especially, a lot of college students are preparing to break for the summer and need to get rid of dorm and apartment furnishings fast. From one of these, you may be able to secure a great deal on a used desk, chair or any number of other needed office furnishings.

The bottom line is that a dedicated office space is simply a MUST for all work at home moms. Even if you’re working at the kitchen table for now, be sure that everything that you need is within reach, thoughtfully organized and that it is physically comfortable.

    I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually helpful to read. With all the garbage floating around on the internet, it is a great change of pace to read a blog like yours instead.
