Improve Your Home Office Week is the second week in October. As transcriptionists, our workplace is often our home office. Since we spend so much time there, what better time to find ways to improve productivity and make our home office more comfortable?

Get Organized

--Buy a new desk organizer

--Come up with a better more efficient way to store client/customer info

--Keep your workstation clean so that finding what you need is easier and faster

Improve Your Health and Stamina

--Buy a new ergonomic chair to fight fatigue and neck and back strain

--Buy typing gloves and an ergonomic keyboard to fight carpal tunnel

Decorate Your Surroundings

--Incorporate plants, pictures, and your favorite things in your home office to personalize your space

--Use bright colors in the room to improve your mood
