The problem I found myself facing in setting up a home office is that nobody wrapped up all the interelationships between the technology in one doc (e.g. how does VOIP relate to your chosen broadband channel and networking method).

I’ve tried to do it myself (perhaps unsuccessfully!) without plugging any particular vendors at: http://www.drivelry.com/cheap-setup-for-a-home-based-small-business-computers-network-and-phones/176/

Some great suggestions! I think the first step, which is most important, is to have a work area at home. At my last apartment I didn’t have an area that was an office area which meant that I sat on the couch most nights working = not good for productivity.

You then need to set up the office in a way that will inspire you to be productive and creative. These are some great tips to use! I find that just cleaning helps a lot too :)

I think the best method to improve your home office is to eliminate all the other distractions. By making your office a place of a work only, your productivity levels will increase. I can’t tell you how many times I sit down to do work and get distracted by TV, Facebook or the phone. Here’s a great link about productivity, http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/50-ways-to-increase-your-productivity.html.

I had a strange idea this weekend – since I never have enough desk space, and I seem to be working on laptops – why not use the floor instead of a desk? OK – sitting is an issue, but then I looked at so-called “gaming” chairs… that and a laptop cooling cradle… thoughts?

I would highly suggest ergonomic office supplies. A chair, keyboard, mouse, anything. I use a mouse I got from ultimatebackstore.com and it totally helps my arms. They have a bunch of massage accessories too.

I have already incorporated all of these items into my office. I recently added a fountain and the sound of the water is relaxing. Because of the enormous hours spent working in my office I have added a television, a dog bed for my pets who accompany to my office each day as well as a table separate from my computer to spread out on when necessary. I also have a treadmill nearby which I use to expend pent up frustrations when necessary.

Try silk plants and flowers – no watering required and no guilt when they die! And a second monitor is well worth the expense – much easier on the mind!

It seems they are useful suggestions.. I have a suggestion also. Use a big mirror on your table. So you can see yourself while working. I tried it and improved my performance. :-)

Music, music, music. Although non-tangible, it’s definitely a plus in the comfort area, at least in the auditory sense (silence tends to subconsciously remind you that you are working, whereas one has fun when listening to music). Furthermore, it can be somewhat of a catalyst for the flow of creative juices.
