Working from home is very trendy for consultants, freelancers, small business owners ... Internet tools have evolved and made it possible. Having an optimized workspace is important to anyone that works on their computer a lot – it will save you a lot of time, and time is money!

1. Make sure everything is in reach: mouse, keyboard, and coffee, as well as people’s contact information and your phone.

2. Be prepared – Make sure there’s an extra pack of batteries for your wireless mouse and two pens. And tissues, if you happen to eat and drink at your desk.

3. Get a friend – a cubicle or an office can get a lonely place if you sit it it by yourself too long, so get a nice plant or put up pictures of your loved ones.

4. Be plugged in – Make sure your USB ports are properly cabled and ready to go.

5. Get comfortable -Find an adjustable chair with arm rests that fits you well. “Install” an electric back massage device – it will do wonders for your productivity.

6. Create space - Get two LCD screens for working; no more switching of active windows all the time, and it also declutters the entire desk.

7. Create barriers - If you’re working, you don’t want to get distracted. Close the door, turn on your favorite music to drown out any noises that come from outside.

8. From Home - Make sure your have a room for yourself with light, sunshine and a good view.
