Set up your office and work from home

If your objective is to earn a living by working at home using your own personal computer, then you are going to have to have a home office. Don't panic!

A home office ideally is a separate room with a door, but a corner of a room that is used for another purpose can also serve as a home office, provided you make the correct provisions (a bedroom or a den, for example).

Unless you are going to host clients or others in your home office, not a lot of furniture or even space is required. You need a desk and a chair. You need good lighting. As for equipment, you need your computer, a printer/scanner and (if at all possible) a telephone that is a separate line from your home phone with a headphone for hands-free use.

You can see that this furniture and equipment needed for a work-at-home office could easily be contained in the corner of a room that is used for other purposes. But the furniture and the equipment are not the only parts of setting up a home office. The most important aspect is being able to actually WORK in your home office with a minimum of distractions and interruptions. That's why the ideal solution is a separate room in your home that is used exclusively as a home office. That isn't always possible, but it is the ideal solution.

When choosing a room in your home or an area of a room in your home to use as your home-office space, try to choose one that is as far away from normal household activity as possible. If there are children, try to choose a place that is not a regular play area for them. You ARE going to have to be able to concentrate in order to get your work done, and the location of your home office has a lot of impact on your ability to concentrate.
