This weeks edition of Home Office Tips and Hints — The Links will be hosted by @halosecretarial at her great blog Halo Secretarial Which will be wonderful in that it will provide all of you with a different look at some different links from someone other than me.
However, I am not going to let any of you off the hock that easy. In order to make this week’s edition even bigger and better, with Laurie’s edition of “The Links”, I thought we would do a “Reader’s Best Tip” post too.
So, submit your best tip you would give someone brand new to the home office world. Something you would have really liked to have known when you first started working from a home office. No holding back either. Any tip will work. Leave your comments here or drop me a direct message on twitter at @grantgriffiths
What I will do is than take all of the tips provided either in the comments to this post or on twitter and make a post including them all. Not only will your tip be featured, you will get linkage too. And if you have more than one tip, don’t stop with one. Lets get the conversation going.
Tip #1:
Get a decent laptop and work all over your house - it’s more interesting than holing up in an office all the time!
Tip #2:
Take breaks from your work throughout the day - take a walk, do some stretches or even do a quick household chore - anything to make you step back for a minute, you get better perspective that way!
Tip #3:
Take a reality check once a month. Are you having the best time of your life? If not, tweak your business so it’s pointing in the right direction
Tip #4:
When you buy equipment for your office, buy quality equipment. The reliability that comes with quality purchases will make up for itself in no time.
