Your at-home workstation
Not enough space for a home office? Then compromise with a workstation for you or the kids. Here are some steps for creating room so you work better at home:
- Motivate. What stops you from sitting down to get work done? Is the space too chaotic, or too noisy? Identifying what’s holding you or your family back is the first step in producing an ideal workspace.
- Locate. When you want to keep an eye on your child while they do their homework, consider transforming a kitchen counter or a corner of your dining area into a work niche. Or, when you need peace and quiet to work alone, arrange space for yourself in a little-used corner of the house, like a guest room. Simply remove the doors on a closet for a built-in work nook in any room.
- Stimulate. Choose the conditions you need to inspire good work. For a child, corkboards are a great place to display things they often need to refer to like schedules, math formulas and grammar rules. For you, a letter sorter and organizer can keep your space de-cluttered.
- Integrate. Make sitting down in a comfortable chair and getting to work part of your routine. Build that habit a little bit every day.
When you need more space to work at home, you might consider purchasing a home with more amenities. Please contact me, as I help families find their ideal home.
