on 5/14/2009 Good article on How to Set Up a Home Office

on 2/14/2009 Setting up your at home work space is oh so important. You need to be comfortable as you maybe spending hours on end in your office. I was eventually able to have my dual computer monitors set up, scan, copy, fax set up, a nice comfortable chair, nice spacious desk and great lighting. Take your time. Eventually it will be complete.SandyThey're Accepting Applicationshttp://www.document-do-it-yourself-service.com/jobs.html

on 12/13/2007 Does anyone know if there are any grants available to help pay for office equipment etc?

on 11/22/2005 In my home office, on one phone line, I have a home phone number AND a "smart ring" number which each ring differently, so that I can tell if it's a client calling. Check your phone service to see if this is available. If you already have an established office phone number, you can have that number "remote call forwarded" to your new "smart ring" number and reduce your costs by losing one phone line.

on 11/22/2005 I return calls only three times during the working day, using a portable phone. I use the time I am waiting to reach my party to stand up and walk my office to file, sort papers, or pull documents needed for my next project.

on 11/22/2005 During the good weather, I set up my office outdoors in 5 minutes. I use the patio table and umbrella and wheel out an extra office chair from the garage. I have a laptop, which makes this easy. I love it and don't feel "cooped in" when it's nice outside.

on 11/22/2005 Have a professional office decor - like you'd have at a job. Hang up degrees, motivational posters and certificates. This will help when tough times come. Rejoice in the good times!!

on 11/22/2005 Make sure that you have enough filing cabinets and shelving.
Don't skimp on storage. If you do run out of space, the beginning of your being disorganized begins.

on 11/22/2005 When we became empty-nesters, we gutted the spare bedroom and made it into a home office. We now have three desks (including computer desk), a separate business line for one business and an extension of our home number (very handy).

on 11/22/2005 Make a real distinction between the two. I do not answer my "home" phone while at work, and I do not go from my office space to my leisure space often. It really does help me separate. And, turn the computer off at the end of the day!
