Finding Your Telecommuting Work Life Balance - Organizing Your Space
If you work from home, you probably find yourself in the position where you just don't have the time to keep your office clean and organized
. Something always comes up that is more pressing and you put off organizing that pile of paperwork and all of a sudden, you look around, and your office is a complete disaster.
This has happened to me more than once. It seems like I just blink and it looks like a tornado came through my office! I began to realize that when this happened, I was less productive and I found it hard to concentrate and get my work done. I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but having a disorganized workspace can create chaos in the mind and robs us from working at a our full potential.
For most of us, if we worked in an office, we would not keep our desks piled up with paperwork and in complete disarray. It should be no different when working from home. Take a few minutes at the end of the day to put things away and get your space organized. It will make a huge difference how you begin the next day!
If you find that you don't have the right supplies to organize your space, it is worth investing a little money to get your space the way you need it. Just because you work at home does not mean you should skimp out on buying these things. If you worked in an office this would be provided for you so don't feel bad about equipping yourself with the tools you need to do your job effectively.
