  • Work Space Love!

    Work Space Love!

    I’m a huge fan of checking out how everyone else spends their working day. It’s fun to see what kind of work environment others thrive in and maybe get a feel for what may help me thrive!
    The Perfect Office - InfiniteUSB, Flic Smart Button, Kodak PixPro and Office Ideas:
    Most jobs have similar things or tasks that become monotonous and a simple change in the work environment can really help overcome that dreaded feeling.

    For some, a simple cleaning can do the trick. Giving yourself a clean fresh start can reinvigorate your work ethic.

    Another way to appreciate your work space is to get out of it! I’ve been reading up on the Pomodoro method and a quick 5 minute break, a walk, or just a moment outside can really make you appreciate coming back. 
    Finally got around to blogging a few photos of our home office makeover. Well, the finished product anyway! Link in profile.:

  • Filling Empty Corners

    Filling Empty Corners

    We all have that one corner or space in our home that we have no idea what to do with! Here are some ideas to fill up those empty corners and make the best use out of them:
    a cool corner setup.:

    Extra seating is always an option! A simple chair can fill up a corner without adding too much clutter.
    An unexpected space to work! I love this custom style desk for someone who maybe doesn’t like the look of a traditional work space.

    I love a simple plant to fill a corner. It’s a great way to add a fresh touch to a room without much work!

    Shelving can add a great touch to a corner, especially for those who could use a little extra storage. 
    Farmhouse Entry:
    A simple picture and some knick knacks can add a great touch to a corner. I also love that these containers can hold miscellaneous items that you maybe wouldn’t leave out otherwise!

  • Making Room for What’s Important

    Making Room for What’s Important

    I recently read an article about my generation that really resonated with me. It’s that my generation has a different point of view that’s not being ridiculed! It’s actually being implemented, and praised. What is it about? It says we are more interested in finding a work / life balance.
    We’ve seen the successes of working from home and how it’s given us the ability to lose the commute, lose the cost of eating out, gas, and other expenses. We’ve been able to spend more time with or family and do it on a budget that isn’t ridiculous for this economy.
    We have seen generations before us spend an entire lifetime working away and struggle to retire. We have learned to live with less and enjoy it more!
    Our bosses may be in the previous generation and see that work comes best when it’s in an office environment but we’ve proven them wrong. We can get more done in a smaller amount of time. We are healthier, happier, and willing to work harder just to be home.
    We are a generation that’s not afraid of change.

    Creating a creative work space!

    Sometimes a work space isn’t work related! Here’s a few tips on how to make your work area a little more creative:
    Take the time to get it organized! Figure out how you work best, what you need to do that, and where it should go!
    Get rid of everything you don’t need!! Don’t let clutter get your in way.
    Be proud of your space. Make it your own. Decorate it so that you when you walk in you are ready to get your day started.

  • Some office love

    Some office love

    It seems like more and more people are working from home. With a struggling economy it makes sense to cut corners. Not having to commute gives you more billable hours as well as less gas cost. There’s also that freedom of being able to live wherever you want, which gives you an option to be in a more affordable area.

    With all that savings it gives you a great option to really spend some quality time making your home office everything you wanted it to be.
    Say goodbye to that stuffy cubicle and hello to a room you can create just to your liking.
    It’s like a whole new world of options open up for you and you get to make it an environment for you to excel at your work.
    Even if it is only one little corner in a room, it’s yours. 
    I can see most people working from home in the future and for me it feels like a great way to balance life and work. Instead of being somewhere you don’t want to be, you actually get to enjoy being in your own space.
