Here are five tips for organizing your home office:
- Declutter the Work Space: Remove unnecessary items from the desk and office area.
- Regular Maintenance: Set aside time each week to tidy up and keep the office organized.
- Cable Management: Use cable organizers or clips to keep cords and cables tidy.
- Lighting: Ensure workspaces and backgrounds are well-lit to reduce eye strain and look professional during video meetings.
