Tips for an Efficient Home Office

Whether you're working from home as a Telecomutter or SOHO (Small Office Home Office) business owner, the key to productivity is ORGANIZATION & DISCIPLINE.

Studies show: 28% of each day is spent on Distractions | 27% of office workers feel Disorganized | 13 hours on average per week is spent checking Email.

In a workplace enviornment there are many uncontrolled distractions, such as coworkers stop by your desk, engage in conversations, unplanned meetings and so on. So when you work from home its basically your availability, more formalized meeting schedules and planned tasks. But it requires self-discipine! Therefore every morning I plan out my day, put aside my phone, leave the Radio & TV off and I stick to my agenda. Unless I recieve a phone call, I only check my mobile device every half-hour to avoid distraction. This guarantees I won't be tempted to take too many social breaks and fall behind on work deadlines. Believe it or not, you can be most productive at HOME then at work!

Also, having an organized and dedicated work area at home is essential. Apart from the common: laptop, printer and basic office supplies. I also recommend you ensure you have a High Speed Internet with a SECURE Wi-Fi, Dependable Surge Protector, Proper Data Backup and a Paper Shredder. In addition to the high-technical stuff- you need a Rocketbook Notebook! It's not just a gadget, it's a contribution to our environment!
