The Smarter Home Office: 8 simple steps to increase your income, inspiration and comfort.

The "8 Steps" are simple and surprisingly easy to do. The Smarter Home Office give you practical solutions that work for you on any budget.

If your home is your castle, why does your office feel like a dungeon?

Does your workspace make your worklife more difficult?

Do you avoid your home office because it is so depressing?

Do you have a home office that is not working for you, but you don;t know where to begin?

The Smarter Home Office is for anyone with a small business, home office or corporate office.

Position your desk to support work flow.

Discover the overlooked "best perk" of the home office.

Use simplified ergonomic adjustment to prevent stiffness and back pain.

Choose the best lighting to avoid eye strain and fatigue.

Access nature to de-stress and energize yourself.

Create a color environment to support mental focus or physical activity.

Identify underused spaces for an office in a "room too short" home.

Arrange photos and mementos for personal inspiration, because a boring office is just as unproductive as a cluttered office.

Your problems working at home may have less to do with will power than with the set up of your workspace.

Linda Varone is an award-winning home and office design consultant. She has helped entrepreneurs, telecommuters and work at home moms to add warmth, energy and comfort to their home office since 1991. Linda uses a unique blend of architectural psychology and interior design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best home office design written with psychological insight into what makes us tick or not!, June 25, 2010
This review is from: The Smarter Home Office: 8 simple steps to increase your income, inspiration and comfort (Paperback)
I've worked at home for many years with a fully dedicated home office. Keeping up productivity at home can be a challenge. This book helped me to make simple changes that increased my organization and work space arrangement so that I felt more comfortable and looked forward to going to work. After reading it and making the changes, I was stunned at how such little things could make such a big difference. The author really understands how the human being reacts to a space.
