It's important to have a dedicated work space, preferably in a separate
room, where you won't be disturbed by or disturbing others. Here are
some tips for setting up this space.
Reminder: One of these tips
contains inaccurate information. Click on the box in front of it and
then click on the answer button to see if you chose correctly.
A If you don't have a
separate room, consider partitioning off part of a room that's not going
to be used when you are
working remotely by putting up a screen.
B Find a place where
you can keep noise to a minimum. Children playing, dogs barking or
dishes clanking in the
background can be distracting to you and won't give a professional
image to people you're
talking to on the phone.
C
It's very important that your office look attractive.
D Plan your office so
that your desk and equipment are close enough to phone and power
outlets so you can
avoid having an unsafe tangle of wires or extension cords strung across
the room.
