How To Spend More Time Working in Your Home Office Than on It?

With some inspiration, a plan to get started, and the right support, your home office can be a place of inspiration, motivation, and productivity.

Work from home?  Have a home office?  Not really happy with it?  If you’re staying down the barrel of endless stacks of paper, it can be a daunting task to get your home office in shape.  If you’re feeling stuck, but want to improve your space here are a few tips to get you on the road to organized home office bliss:

1. Dedicated space: Make sure your home office is a place for work. Put as much importance on how your office functions as you do your work. A dedicated space (even if it’s a corner) will not only keep you on task but more likely to stay organized.
2. Don’t be so stuffy: Who says your office products have to come from the local supply store? Creative freedom is one of the beauties of working from home. Canning jars, toolboxes, kitchen items, or planters are great and unusual ways to organize your office.
3. Get a handle on the paper: Take time each day to deal with the incoming paper, and get it into a reference file or tagged for action. Be sure to recycle the extras.
4. Change it up: Is the office feeling a bit stale? It’s a good idea to do a tune-up every 6-12 months. Set aside an afternoon on the calendar and clear out old paperwork, products and books. Your office will feel fresher and you’ll be energized to work in such a great space!
5. Put the brakes on procrastination: You know who you are, and you know what you’re putting off. Really, just buckle down and deal with the “to file” pile. You’ll feel so much better, and release the guilt you have about getting it done. Think of all the energy you have wrapped up!
