Working at home can be a joy!  You can do it in your jammies or at 3am when sleep is evasive.  Adequate work surface, storage and lighting are the 3 main essentials to an efficient home office.  This can actually be accomplished in a minimum amount of space if the space is well laid out.  A fourth element that is very important is an ergonomic chair that is adjustable in height, swivels and glides.  To avoid body strain, be sitting at the ideal height with relationship to the computer screen and keyboard.  You’ll want to swivel and/or glide to access files and work areas without getting up.
