Now that many people are working from home we’re having to evaluate how our home offices are set up. My best piece of advice is to keep everything you need for a certain task, together in one place. Especially if you do that task often.
This client (pre-quarantine) had her stationery in lots of different drawers in her desk. When we brought everything into one place she was able to see how much she really had. It also made the process of mailing things so much easier.
Organizing can save you money because you don’t buy more than you need. She thought she was running out of certain stationery, but in fact, she had put it in a drawer and forgotten where it was. As a result, she ordered more. We’ve all done it, but this will keep it from happening again.
How have you adapted to working at home?
