Nowadays, working from home is becoming a popular option for many people. For new mums it is an attractive possibility that allows them to fit work around a busy childcare schedule. Many self-employed people are starting to work from home too, preferring to start out from a desk in their home office rather than forking out fees for expensive business premises.

There are many advantages to working from home, including a flexible work schedule, no hectic commute and none of the time-wasting distractions of a busy open-plan office. However, it has its numerous downfalls too, and is definitely not for everyone.

If you do decide to make the leap and start working from home, there are some important aspects to consider that can affect your happiness and success. Many consider that the key to best results is being organised, and more specifically, having an organised office.
