Small Biz Tip: Working From Home: Office Space

Tips from September 8, 2009

The Small Business tips today discuss working from home: Office Space


  1. Separate your workspace at home from the rest of your house. Ideally, a designated home office would be best; if not plausible, at least have a desk.
  2. Have a separate telephone line for work to keep you focused and eliminate personal distractions. This is also required to deduct expenses.
  3. Invest in a filing cabinet. It is an easy way to keep your papers organized and out of the way of your home life, as well as keep others out.
  4. Treat your home workspace as if you working in an office: keep away from the television, distractions, & home luxuries to stay focused.


Daily Overview: Pick a workplace in your home and stick with it. Establish your area and take control.
