- Internet fax
- PDA

Step 1
Get a portable phone with voice mail. To ensure you're not stuck in a room by a corded phone and answering machine, switch to a portable phone with voice mail that can travel with you from room to room.
-
Step 2
Purchase a laptop computer. Desktop computers are simply too large, heavy and awkward to carry around. Instead, purchase a lightweight laptop computer for your business needs.
-
Step 3
Set up wireless networking. Create a wireless network in your home so that you can access the Internet from any room in your house via your laptop computer. Hook up your printer to this network, too, so you can also print documents from your laptop.
-
Step 4
Use portable file cabinets. Instead of heavy duty file cabinets, try file boxes or a plastic file cabinet on wheels. This allows you to easily move your files to your workspace.
-
Step 5
Use Internet-based fax. Rather than dealing with a heavy fax machine, sign up for an Internet-based fax service. You can send and receive faxes from your laptop, so you eliminate the need for a bulky fax machine.
-
Step 6
Keep info in a PDA. A Rolodex and planner are just two more items that make it hard to mobilize your office. Instead, keep all that information at the tip of your fingers with a PDA.
