Mixing your work with your home life can be tricky, but I’m giving it a good shot. I recently moved into a new home and as I regularly work from home, I claimed one of our three bedrooms as my office - or what I like to call “Keith’s Fortress of Solitude.�I spent quite a bit of time planning it out. I wanted a place where I could get down to businness, but also hang out, listen to music, play a video game and basically just be myself. I think every home office must be planned and built to suit the needs of the people using it. In my case it was 70% business and 30% fun.
Today I’m going to walk you through my ultimate home office, explaining they why’s and hows (don’t worry, it’s really quite simple — by design) and offering up some advice that may help you. When I’m done I’d love to hear about your own setup!

I agree with you - a separate place is needed if you intend to work from home full time. Keeping it free from interruption, having everything organised and easily accessible, and - last but not least - working to a schedule.
It’s all to easy to fall into the “I can do it anytime” trap.
