WHAT
The heart of any offi ce is a good desk. While some very organized people can function with a small rectangular desk, the ideal is either an L or U-shaped desk. This allows you to have suffi cient space for a computer and to keep often-used items right at hand. Most important is to maintain a clean work surface for such chores as opening mail, paying bills, etc.
Next in importance is having a good desk chair. For maximum comfort and productivity, an old kitchen chair just won’t do. Any offi ce store has many chairs to choose from at all price ranges. Most important is that it swivels, has wheels and is adjustable to give you the most comfortable fi t.
Position your chair and monitor correctly for good ergonomics. The monitor should be about two to three inches above eye level, while the chair should be adjusted so arms and elbows are level for typing. A foot board helps maintain good posture.
What about accessories and fi les? If you don’t have space on your desk for a printer or other equipment, make use of wireless capability and stow them on a shelf or in a closet. As for fi ling, you can go as low- tech as metal fi le cabinets to customizable storage units such as those sold by IKEA (a favorite of this writer).
Albright recommends placing your desk against a wall so your back isn’t against a door or window. This allows you to give your eyes a break by looking up and focusing
far away to avoid eye strain, another link to increased productivity.
So, take time to shape up your home offi ce now. It will help reduce stress and increase your productivity during the precious time you spend there.
