Making Space for a Home Office

Written By Charlotte's Web Designs, LLC

For those who are used to working in an office building, working from home can be very distracting, especially when there is no clear “working” space versus “living” space. Here are a few suggestions inspired from a recent Houzz article:*

1. Create a Schedule - and Stick to It

Try to answer emails, return calls, and write copy as early as possible in the day before normal household distractions begin. If possible, ensure your family and friends understand that you may be home, but you are still working.

2. Remember Ergonomics

Find or buy a comfortable chair and make time to stretch and take a walk. If possible, consider a standing desk.

3. Find Tech Support

There is usually that go-to person in the office but at home, you may be on your own when it comes to tech issues. Try to plan ahead and find someone you cal call when that tech emergency arises.

4. Claim your spot.

Look for a relatively quiet place away from traffic sounds or other distractions. Natural light will help you feel less isolated. Set up your place with everything you need to work efficiently: pens, papers, storage, etc.

If you do not have the room for your new office or there are more than one of you working from home, it may be time to think about remodeling or adding that new room you always talked about.

With over 35 years experience in technology and marketing, I am a computer geek (therefore, very organized), who adores all aspects of art (that's the creative side), and who taught technology to both children and adults for 15 years (I play well with others). What does this mean for you? I will work hard to ensure that your business has the best marketing possible including branding, website, SEO, graphic art, marketing materials, lead generation and more...and we will both love every minute of it.

You will get personal service. That means no sales pitches, no extended meetings, and no wasted time. I am a small, local business so I understand the importance of timeliness, budget, creativity, organization and accountability.

If you are of the same mindset, let’s get started!
