4 Work From Home Organization Tips


When they say you will work harder for yourself than you ever would for an employer, they are right. You may find yourself working all hours of the day and night instead of simply punching a time clock and going home. To get the most out of your new found freedom some handy work from home organization is a good idea. Here are a few common tips to get you started.


Tip 1- Workspace

 Find a clear working space. Most people decide to use areas such as an empty wall underneath a staircase, or an empty dinning room, or a spare bedroom. The home office work space should be well lit by natural light, somewhat spacious, and clean. This is where you will want to set up your workspace. In your workspace, you can set up a panel table, a compact desk, or even a portable laptop table. You will also need space for office supplies as well, a printer, a phone, and possibly a fax machine. 

Tip 2- Office Environment

Create your workspace in a way that would be similar to a workspace in an office. Make sure that it is organized well, and that there is a place to store all of your supplies. You should have some sort of cup or container for pencils, pens, clips, etc. You should try to keep slots to use as an inbox and an outbox. Try to keep sticky pads, or message pads next to the phone. A nice compact filing cabinet, complete with file folders, would do you a world of good as well.

Tip 3- Eating and Drinking

If you are going to eat and drink while working (and most people do), then make sure that you aren't getting your workspace messy. If you need to drink while on your computer, then keep a coaster or a similar object around, to keep rings and stickiness off of your desk. Don't leave plates around, or empty bags, or crumbled wrappers. Remember this is your workspace. Just because you are working from home doesn't mean that you should be dirty or sloppy. 

Tip 4- Work Time!

Make sure that if you live with others, they respect your work time. This means that they need to understand that you are not to be disturbed. If you can work out of a spare bedroom, you might keep the door shut, with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Make sure that your work area isn't located by a window, or around a lot of noise, especially if you perform call center work from home. To that end, it's best to invest in noise-canceling headsets.

Merchandising Careers: Find New Leads

It has been awhile since I lasted posted anything new on merchandising. If you are new here and are looking for some good merchandising companies, there is an entire list in previous posts. You will find companies like Archway or Driveline, Certified and many more listed there. This post is for those of you who have gotten your feet wet in the field but are suffering a common problem when it comes to merchandising careers, the need for more money! Many of these companies just do not have enough work for you to make a full time job out of, so it may be necessary to work for two or even three companies at the same time.

Sign In Book

Your new best friend when it comes to looking for honest to goodness merchandising companies such as Driveline, will be the sign in book at most retail locations. Wal-Mart has an especially huge merchandiser sign in log, in which there is a ton of information. As you are flipping through the pages looking for your companies log page, make note of some of the names you flip past. Xpress is one such company that I personally found this way.

Internet

With your new list of merchandising companies, you should retire to your computer to find more information. With the exact name of the company, you are better equipped to find more work. There are simply too many scam sites out there begging you to pay them for leads on merchandising, and believe me 99% of what they have is freely available to you. Knowing where to look is the hard part!

Conclusion

Working from home is not the easiest job in the world, however if you can manage your time and money well it can be the most rewarding experience of your life. Just the freedom from a time clock is sometimes all the reward you will ever need. More information coming soon!
