Assign stations
This is ideal for any home office with extra space available. Assign stations in your home office where you’ll be doing specific tasks. Don’t just pick a spot and create a station, determine if it’s easy to reach, isn’t too cramped, has the necessary items it needs (e.g., powerpoint), and can help to get the job done. A few examples of these stations are printing, paper shredding, sketching, and typing stations.
Repurpose old containers
Have empty jars around the house you can use for storing pens? How about an old box or laundry bin that your magazines can easily fit into? Repurpose containers that are still usable in order to create an order within the elements you wish to include inside your home office.
Save space
You can do this by opting for desks that are mounted on the wall or those that don’t generally take up too much space. It helps if your chair is comfortable, yet not bulky as well.
Put wires and cords in order
There are so many ways to keep your cables tidy. Other than using cable ties to bunch them all together, try using binder clips, cord wrappers, specialty tapes, empty toilet paper rolls, and even small PVC pipes. These items will help keep your cables untangled and organised all at the same time.
Create a solid command station
This is the year you familiarised yourself with a command station and its many benefits. A command station is a place in your office or house where reminders, schedules, and important files can all be found. This is the area of your home where you get in touch with what needs to be done for the day, week, or even month. Eliminate the need to run to the office supplies store to get sticky notes by using an attractive and cost-effective customisable planning board or wall planner that reminds you of what you need to do for a specific time or day. Whether it’s football practice, laundry day, or a project deadline, never forget a task again with a fully functional wall calendar.
