Working From a Home Office

• Think of all the things that you'll need to work comfortably and efficiently in your home office.
• Have a telephone installed in the space or be sure to have a portable phone available.
• Whether you select a custom-designed cabinets and writing surface or use a small desk, this is where you'll spend the most time. Do your best to get yourself a good desk that's large enough and the right height to most comfortably do your work.
• To make the most of limited space, have shelving installed behind your desk. Books and supplies will be easy to reach.
• Select a chair that is comfortable, the right height, and provides proper back and arm support for the type of work you will be doing.
• Install a slide-out keyboard holder so that your computer keyboard is the right height for easy and comfortable use. Place your computer mouse in a place that is accessible and provide cushioning for your wrists.
• Install adjustable lighting so you can get a feel for what works for you in that space. Choose something adjustable so you can find the right level of comfort.
