Think Comfort Studies show that efficiency decreases when we are uncomfortable. Lesson to be learned: don't sacrifice comfort for beauty when selecting your furnishings.

Use Mobile Furniture Reduce grunt work. Few of us enjoy an hour spent shoving and pulling a heavy filing cabinet from one side of room to other. Office furniture with wheels or similar mobility aids will make life much simpler. It's easy to set up, easy to rearrange, easy to move for cleaning or to retrieve lost items.

Remember to take accurate wall measurements before you go shopping for office furniture. Take wallboards, heating ducts and other such items into account.

Some manufacturers are making office furniture with adjustable surfaces so you can work either sitting or standing. Before buying, be sure your home office has adequate space for this feature.

Think Convenience How much fun will it be when you have to crawl under a desk on your belly to attach your new printer to back of computer? Computer makers don't make things easy for us, but with a little pre-planning, you can place your computer so you can actually get at those hookups when you need to.

Check Your Wiring Make sure your home's wiring is adequate to accommodate office machinery and various computer hookups. Ensure you that you can use three-pronged plugs to ground your equipment. Check for electrical hazards -- being especially cautious of hazards to children and pets.

Most days we are excited by prospect of prospering on internet. We faithfully log on everyday and look to see if we have sales, fulfill those sales and spend some time promoting business. Some days are better than others and some days are absolute worst we believe we have ever experienced. If worst days are limited to one every now and then we get past it and move on. But every once in a while we may go through a series of days that seem so dark that we may begin to lose hope that things will ever change. What do we do on dark days?

First and foremost, we must not lose site of totality of our lives. As dedicated as we are to our business venture, it shouldn't take up all of our time. This creates an imbalance. And when that thing that's too consuming begins to falter we may head into despair. We need balance.

On dark days it may be necessary to pull away from computer and do something else for a change. What about calling or visiting your family and friends who may have thought you have dropped off face of earth. See how they are doing. Talk about everything but business. Enjoy yourself!
