Organize Your Home Office: Simple Routines for Setting Up an Office at Home

This book is extremely practical and to-the-point. The author did well to spare the annoying anecdotes and tedious end-of-chapter reviews or exercises you sometimes find in books like this. All aspects of the home office are addressed, including how to handle your workflow, what supplies to buy, and even what to do if you have children in your home. (Note that the technology tips will naturally be dated.) This is a great book for the starter who just wants to get right down to business, and it also serves as a good reference for the person who is already working from home.

I happened across this book when I was actually in an office supply store shopping for furniture for my home office--naturally the title caught my attention immediately!I am finding ORGANIZE YOUR HOME OFFICE! to be a helpful guide through this project because it addresses my specific situation--setting up a home office from scratch. This would NOT be the best choice if you've already been working at home for years and need to declutter and rearrange, but for the "beginner" it's a handy checklist of things to keep in mind so you can start out organized and hopefully stay that way. Not a lot of specific details or anecdotes, but a comprehensive outline to keep you on track.
