Essential Home Office Tools
Home Office Desk
What do you need for an effective home office? Don't fall for all of the high-tech, fancy gadgets on the market today. To have an effective home office for general business that will meet your everyday needs, you only need the following:
- An all-in-one printer, fax, copier, and scanner
- Either a desktop computer or laptop computer
- A working landline or cell phone
Those three things mentioned above are the essential tools needed in your office. Get rid of that old scanner, the dated fax, and the crappy copier and pick up an all-in-one. This saves space and leaves no room for clutter, not to mention how easy it is to operate. Throw away the filing cabinet and scan documents and save them onto a hard drive. Get rid of your old bulky CRT monitor and turn it in for a new flat-panel LCD.
A Separate Space For Work
Get out of your bedroom office (if you can) and use that spare bedroom to convert it into the ultimate office space. You need a space dedicated to work, so that way your work won't invade your personal area, as each day you will technically be "commuting to work" when going to your own personal office.
A separate space is also beneficial because if gets you away from distractions. This way, you go in, do your work, and leave. Very similar to a job away from home, except the commute is much shorter!
Keep It Clean - Keep It Simple
There's no need to go overboard when dressing up your office. Keep the walls a dark color. Avoid bright painted walls. Avoid excess clutter on the walls, such as too many picture frames or paintings. Also make sure your desk is clean and organized. A cluttered desk is a distraction, which will eventually lead to you not getting done what you need to get done.
Take some of these things into consideration when getting your home office ready. I can assure you that these tips will make for a better, more modern home office.
