The Imperfect Home Office

Today, The Independent out of London has an article titled, How to Create the Perfect Home Office.

I had to laugh.

Is there such a thing as a perfect home office? Sometimes we only have a corner of the dining room table on which to work, and that's okay. Everyone's parameters for what makes for a perfect office differs, so it's important to remember that, although it's nice to have a door that closes and a fabulous skylight, some of us -- millions perhaps -- work without one just fine.

What the article does suggest is that there may be areas in your home or apartment that you've overlooked as good office space: an area behind your staircase, a closet not being used effectively. There's no sense in trying to work in an uncomfortable spot when there are alternatives at hand. A good idea for all of us right now would be to get up from our computers and take a quick walk around our living spaces. Are there any spots in your home that would be better suited to your home office than the one you're currently using? Hmmm... Just might be the perfect reason to finally clean out my bedroom closet.
