If you have a home office that's also in a common area of your home (like the living room, kitchen or den), I'm sure you know how difficult it can be to keep your space organized. Here are some quick tips to help:
1. Invest in enough office space. Your office needs a clear work space; that means providing enough space for computer hardware and peripheral equipment, a place for reference items, file space and an area for regularly referenced supplies and paper. Be sure your office furniture gives you plenty of space for work and storage.
2. Create activity centers. An effective office needs to be zoned into these activity areas:
- The Work Center- This includes a clear work area, your computer and frequently-used office items.
- The Reference Center- This includes manuals, binders, your dictionary and professional books and materials.
- The Supply Center- This includes office and paper supplies.
