HOW TO SET UP YOUR
HOME OFFICE FOR SUCCESS
If you didn’t work from home before, chances are you are or have the ability to now. According to Forbes, remote work is here to stay, with projections that 25% of all professional jobs in North America will be remote by the end of 2022.
Whether you already work from home, have a hybrid work schedule or are contemplating switching to remote work, you’ll need to know how to do so successfully. Set yourself up for success using these three home office tips.
One of the perks of working from home is the freedom to work from your bed, couch, kitchen or patio. However, without a dedicated workspace, you’ll constantly be haul- ing your laptop, notes, binders and other office supplies to a different spot every day, sometimes multiple times a day. After a while, what once felt like freedom can become another chore and can slow down your workday.
By having a dedicated home office, you can create a space that you step into every day and feel productive. Your laptop, monitor, printer, papers and other supplies are all in one place, so you can get to work as soon as you sit down. If you’d like a change of scenery, you can still move around and take calls or a meeting from other areas in your home, but you can always return to the security and convenience of your dedicated workspace.

CREATE A DEDICATED WORKSPACE
If you have a hybrid schedule, set up your home work- space to mimic your office environment. This will make it easier to switch between spaces and continue your proj- ects, whether at home or in the office.
Now that you’ve set up a workspace, it’s time to fill it with the tools you’ll need to succeed. For example, if your work requires you to have several windows or programs open at once, set up two or more computer monitors. Mul- tiple monitors allow you to look at a document, type up a report and attend a meeting simultaneously without jug- gling multiple minimized windows.
Similarly, having a home printer is incredibly conve- nient and can streamline your workflow. Even if your job doesn’t normally require you to print documents, your home printer will be useful on the rare occasions that you do. Also, to give your eyes a screen break, you can print your documents to read and markup with pen and paper.
