#1 Designate a Space

The first thing that you need to do when creating your new home office is to designate a space that is specifically where you get work done. Whether you’ve been working from your kitchen or have turned a spare bedroom into an office, you’ll want that to be the only place that you work from. Working at your home, there’s a variety of temptations from cleaning things to watching TV and by designating a space, you will be more likely to stay focused. In this space, you’ll want to have your computer, work supplies, and anything else to make your new space feel like an office.

#2 Have a Calendar

When working from home, the days can easily run together and it can be difficult to remember where you are in the week. With a calendar, you’ll be able to track your days more efficiently and stay on task. You can use your calendar as a planner, as well and fill it with tasks that you need to accomplish. Whether you opt for a traditional wall calendar, a large desk calendar, or a dry erase calendar, you can easily keep track of your days and make note of important due dates and meetings.

#3 Good Lighting

One thing that can make or break an office space is the amount of lighting that you have. If possible, place your new office space by a window. The natural lighting will allow you to keep track of the time throughout the day and natural lighting is great for helping you focus. If it isn’t possible to place your desk by a window, you’ll want to be sure to have a lot of lighting or lamps. Having a variety of lighting and a bright space will help you stay focused and the lights will make you feel more awake throughout the day.
