Get personal with your audio. Have you ever noticed that stylish, modern shapes that computer speakers come in don't typically stack well? If you are working in a public workspace and have to hunch near your speakers to listen to your music, consider switching to headphones. Wireless headphones are available from a number of vendors and prices are quite reasonable. Combination microphone and headphone headsets also reduce need to use awkward desktop microphones.

Take your office with you. Over last few years laptops have really come into their own. You can get all computing power you'd ever want out of a desktop without having to worry about an extra monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers - and even better yet, you don't have to worry about all wires that come with them. Any upgrades or add-ons you need can usually be picked up pretty inexpensive from any wholesale electronics dealer.

Three auxiliaries are better than one. Printers, copiers, and scanners are integral parts to any home business or office. But you don't need to sacrifice tons of deskspace to have them all. You can often save quite a bit of money buying 3-in-1 combinations of these auxiliaries rather than buying them separately. You also integrate all of your tech support needs for devices because they are all made by same company.

The devil is in details. Little things can really go a long way in cleaning up clutter and opening up desk and office space. USB flash drives store more than their bulky disk counterparts and you can rest assured that they'll be compatible wherever you go. Under-desk trays for keyboards and mice, clip on copy holders that attach to your monitor, and stacking paper trays will all help your home or work office look and feel neat and organized.
