It’s now been one month since I’ve started to work for Denny Cherry & Associates Consulting. Working for DCAC now enables me to work from home. This was a substantial shift for me as I’ve never done this full time. Working from home offered a lot of flexibility that I was looking for. I thought that I would share some of my experiences after making the change.
Workspace
One of the first things that I knew that I wanted to do was to invest in my work space. After all I’ll be spending the majority of my day here. Previously I had what I would call your standard desk that you’d find in most homes. It was a solid desk but it didn’t really facilitate working from home full time. At the previous two employers, I was lucky to have a stand-up desk. I liked the flexibility of being able to sit or stand as needed plus I think that standing is healthier for me. Jes Borland (B|T) did an excellent blog post on a stand up desk that she had purchased, Uplift Desks. One of the issues that I have with standing desks is that being taller it needed to be able to raise up to my desired height. Thankfully the Uplift Desk does this. So I invested in a 72″ x 30″ – 1″ thick Bamboo standing desk.
