It can be difficult to stay productive in a home office; after all, there’s no threat of a boss looking over your shoulder to make sure you’re on task. You need to stay organized and motivated to get things done on your own, and minimizing distractions is key. Organizational guru Liz Davenport recommends turning your home office into a “cockpit office” in order to stay focused. This means keeping only the tools and files you use on a regular basis within arms reach: everything else can be filed away.
Everything you use daily should be within immediate reach on your desk. Everything you use weekly should be within an arms reach. If you haven’t used something in a month or more, store it in another part of your office, where you have to retrieve it by getting up from your desk. This type of organization means you almost never have to interrupt your workflow to get day-to-day work done. Davenport claims that every time you leave your desk you will be gone an average of 20 minutes – and you may not even return with what you were looking for in the first place. Minimizing distractions and maximizing the usefulness of items you need most is just one of many great home office ideas that can help you work more effectively from a home based business. Of course, it’s still nice to have some silk plants in artificial water or wall hangings to liven up the space a little—and you don’t want to room looking like a prison cell if you have to have a meeting on the spur of the moment.
It is always a joy to hear a success story when you are asked for your opinion or some advice on what might be good to do for a gathering of about 30 people for a dinner. Needing to have a little decoration for the tables was their main concern. The question that I had was what kind of dinner party was it, and wanting nothing heavy, just a welcoming home party for a couple.
I suggested getting a nice little artificial water flower arrangement for each table and the colors could vary. Something spring that speaks loads with a welcoming tone would be good and with the artificial water and a good quality silk flower arrangement, it will look even more real making the guest wonder if it is real or not. The dinner party was two weeks away and they got on the Internet and did some looking around. It wasn’t long until they found something that hit the spot. They had a couple of games planned and decided to use two of those artificial water flower arrangements as prizes; and planned on giving one of them to the guest of honor. Was that ever a hit! I was told that 3 or 4 people were caught bending over and smelling the flowers. When they were caught, they just said they thought the silk flowers looked so real and the simulated water just made it all the more real looking. That made me feel good and that is not the first time people have gotten fooled by a good silk flower arrangement.
