Making a Start - Setup a Desk Space

Making a Start - Setup a Desk Space

I would highly recommend setting up a desk space that you can work on for your business if you don't already have one. It doesn't need to be fancy, just an area that is clear where you can be productive. During the pandemic, my husband and I created a study in our nursery - our kids were also moving out of cots and toddler beds and into beds, necessitating room shuffles. My husband also started working from home during the pandemic. We are both just on cheap, fold-out tables (we previously had in the garage for entertaining outdoors), but the space works so well. We can close the doors, it is situated at one end of the house away from our kids' bedrooms and main play area, and has good lighting and heating/cooling.  

I have a desktop computer, printer, notepaper, stationery, post-its and notebooks. I also invest in good quality felt tip pens from Officeworks as I love how they write. When I sit down to work, I have space for tea, snacks and drink bottle. I have lots of inspiration around me, too – a wall full of my kid's artwork, letters I have written to my future self, quotes, an inspirational picture book, candles, and photos. I put some music on, and I get to work.  

What do you want your desk space to look like, and how can you start setting it up today?
