Setting up a home office

With the technology available today, home offices are now a workable > way to save commute time and expensive office space. I have heard so > many questions about home offices that I thought I'd send you a recap of some information I read recently.

Here are some tips that you will find helpful in setting up a great home office:

• Establish your home office away from main traffic patterns. This not only keeps disruptions to a minimum, but helps you focus on the job at hand.
• Invest in your desk and chair. Be sure to have a desk or worktable that is adequate for the task. Purchase an ergonomically correct chair that fits comfortably under the desk.
• Add phone jacks as necessary so your telephone is placed conveniently within reach.
• Consider high-speed cable for Internet access.
• Prepare adequate storage, file cabinets, and shelves affixed to the wall so they are secure.
• Install soft comfortable lighting that goes beyond the glow from your computer monitor!

Now, enjoy! Your home office will provide you with a comfortable and productive environment.
