Organising effectively isn’t a glamorous or appealing activity, but it helps you to achieve your aims with less effort, and makes important tasks simple to manage.

You know it’s time to create an organised home office, when you find yourself :

having to get up from your desk to get things that are out of reach
noticing lots of clutter on your desk or around your feet
being distracted by the mess, which irritates you despite it having become a permanent fixture
continually struggling with books, files, folders and piles of papers
endlessly searching for things that aren’t where you thought they should be

You know that you are making life difficult for yourself,
but you’ve just not got round to doing something about it!

Everything about where you work has an effect on your conscious and unconscious mind, your mood, and your ability to work and concentrate.

This, in turn, affects how effective you are!

Would you rather be distracted by the mess around you or would you prefer to feel excited, full of energy and raring to get started with your work?

Create an organised home office and you’ll become more dynamic and effective!

You could be male or female, a student, teacher, freelance professional, a lawyer or a contractor, working full or part-time at home, in an area that acts as your work space.

Your home-based office might be in your kitchen, the spare bedroom, a garden room or even in a corner of your front-room!

Wherever you are working in your home, you’ve surely already found yourself wondering where that odd sock could be in the house. It has to be somewhere, right?

Or perhaps :

you’re sat at your desk trying to focus on an important work task, but your subconscious keeps prompting you to go and mow the back lawn.
you’re sat there feeling guilty because you were too busy to spend more time over coffee with your sister when she popped in for a visit!

When you are working from home, it’s essential to find the best ways, for you, to shift your energy and focus away from struggling with distractions, to become more effective at balancing work and home tasks.

Although I may not be able to help you find or organise your odd socks, the effective methods shared in my book will allow you to shift your energy and focus, away from struggling with distractions, towards doing more of what you want to do – the work itself.

You will move from being a harassed and overloaded juggler of priorities to becoming a more focused, organised, and calm professional.

Home Office Work Life Balance

An absence of boundaries between home and work life can find you paying the window cleaner instead of writing that million-pound proposal.

Your work area may spill over into home space, particularly if you have children. It’s sometimes difficult to maintain physical boundaries, even if they’ve been formally agreed, as the reality of home life means that you don’t have total control over other family members’ activities.

You find that you have to be the entire office support system: Not only do you make your own coffee, but you also have to fix the computer, post the letters, order stationery and do your own filing.

You may miss having colleagues, even if you’ve previously found them difficult. Lack of human contact and stimulation can make you feel very isolated.

Through Organise your Home Office, you’ll learn how to resolve these common home office work life balance problems.
