Working At Home (209)By 2010, 22 percent of Americans will work from home. It's important to create an environment that enhances your productivity and fits your personality. We visit a Dallas couple who include modern design and art in their home office. And, some residents of Los Angeles' Hancock Park show us why doing business at home takes more than just an office.
Home Office Facts:
- Productive home offices don't come from fitting yourself into someone else's efficient workplace. Think about how you work best and get the right tools and supplies.
- Lighting is crucial. If you don't have windows then consider using full spectrum bulbs which simulate sunlight.
- Keep ergonomics in mind.
