These days, there are more and more jobs for those of us who work in the creative field. One of the major perks of being a creative \u2013 writer, editor, graphic designer, or any other independent or freelance position \u2013 is that we can do our jobs from home if we choose to do so (and the company you work for allows such a luxury). Whether it\u2019s working from home every now and then, or on a set basis, those of us who have done so have probably found that it\u2019s easier to get distracted or sidetracked than it is at the office.
\nIn order to work from home in a productive way, getting your projects done will require setting a certain mood and area in your home to make your work day as smooth as possible. We have listed here a how-to guide to creating your work from home environment to maximize your productivity.<\/p>\n

Create A Work Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our favorite part of the working from home style \u2013 creating your perfect workspace. Most freelancers use laptops these days, so a desk needn\u2019t be large, unless you want it to be. This home d\u00e9cor section of creating the perfect work-from-home environment is entirely personalized. We have found that those who took the time to get a proper desk, office supplies that they would need, decorative accents for their desk and wall, worked more productively because their workspace represented them and what they do.
\nMaking a home office is setting aside a piece of your home for your work, designating an area for the sole purpose of working and producing what you would otherwise be doing in a regular office with others doing the very same, or similar task. Creating a space all your own for your work gives motivation to stay in the comfortable space, and increase productivity, lowering the chance of you straying throughout the day to the other (unproductive) rooms in your house.<\/p>\n
