Create The Perfect Home Office

Many people are still forced to work from home in 2021. Some are starting to prefer it, but if you aren’t, maybe this guide will help you. With a ton of applications that allow seamless communication across the globe, the idea of the “office” is changing rapidly. However, it can be a struggle to create the perfect home office. It needs to be a space away from it all and a place you can get work done.

The Perfect Home Office

What Work Do You Do?

Before you even begin, ask yourself what work you will be doing. Do you need tons of space? Do you need a desk, computer? This will give you an idea of how much space you will need. After all, you will be taking over a portion of your home for work, so you better be sure it will fit.

Find The Space

Once you know the amount of space you need, it’s time to find the space. A guest room turned office works great, you want to make sure there is lots of natural light. You may need to do some serious decluttering, or even look into storing some items away. Space is rare, and you need as much as you can get. Once you have a space defined, get to work and start clearing things out of the way.

Make it a Place to Love

You are going to be spending a lot of time in this room, so make it a place that you will love. Change the wall colour, change the furniture, get good lighting and maybe some decent speakers. If you hate the room, you are going to dread working each day, making it harder to be productive.

Keep it Clean

The worst thing to happen to a work place is clutter, so make sure that you are keeping up on your cleaning. Don’t let your space become a mess, once you get into a routine, stick to it. A cluttered space is a cluttered mind.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
