Easy Ways To Organize Your Home Office

Is your home office in a corner of the family or living room? Here are some great ideas to get that office space organized, no matter what room it’s in.

Invest in Adequate Furniture
Primarily, an office needs a clear work area. There should be enough space for all your computer hardware and peripheral equipment, as well as reference materials, files, office supplies and paper When purchasing office furniture, your priority should be making sure it has ample space for work and storage.

Establish Activity Centers
To make your office as efficient as possible, create different activity areas. Create a “work center” where you have a clear workspace and a place for your computer and frequently used office products. It’s also convenient to designate a “reference center”: a place where you can keep all your binders, manuals, dictionaries and professional books and materials. Last, you need a “supply center,” which contains all your office and paper supplies.

Properly Place Your Hardware and Peripherals
Situate your computer equipment by frequency of use. If you use your printer on a daily basis, make sure it’s within easy reach. If you only access the CPU for troubleshooting, then it can be stored away from the work area, under or next to the desk. Seldom-used scanners and other equipment can be placed outside the work area. Be mindful of any access you might need to drives, trays and cords when setting up your hardware. Finally, keep those tangled cords away from drawers and out of your leg room.

Establish a Paper-Processing Area
Are you always misplacing that important paperwork? Create a place within your work center for those papers that require immediate action. Find a place that is both accessible and in sight to store any paperwork associated with clients or ongoing projects. For any paperwork you seldom reference, establish a permanent filing system someplace in your area.

Contain Unruly Wires
Label your wires by folding a mailing label back on itself around each cord. It’s helpful to not only label the cords to the electrical supply but also those cords that connect the different component to each other. Cut down on cord clutter by bundling like wires together. For instance, bundle your computer wires with your stereo speaker wires.

Take Care of Your Media and Computer Equipment
Be sure to use a surge protector for any delicate electronic equipment. It’s important to be sure that your surge protector is a transient-voltage surge protector and is UL listed. Here it’s better to go high-end. These are built with replaceable fuses and will last a lot longer than less-costly models.

A used fabric softener sheet is the ideal lint- and static-free rag for cleaning your CDs and DVDs. Handle your CDs only by the rim. This will help cut down on fingerprints. Clean the backside of the CD, as that’s where the information is stored. Start at the center of the CD and stroke out to the edge, rather than cleaning in a circular motion.

When creating an organized, efficient office space, it’s sometimes essential to stack your equipment. It’s important not to stack any equipment with venting on the top (such as amps or satellite receivers), as they can get too warm. When stacking this type of equipment, use chair-leg protectors or some other kind of small plastic cup.

Use a lint-free cloth, such as an old T-shirt to regularly clean your computer screen. Be sure not to spray the screen directly. Rather, spray the cloth with water and wipe clean. An abrasive substance should never be used. Window cleaner is another no-no. Just stick to a lint-free cloth and water. Your monitor’s manual should indicate the proper way to clean the screen.
