Us work at home moms (and dads!) have it easy! We just sit around eating bon bons in our bunny slippers and get extra time with the kids, right?
Yeah. Right. If you think that then you’ve never worked at home. But even when the kids and life get out of hand, keep your office a clean haven if only for the following reasons.
Ten Reasons Why You Need an Organized Home Office
- Sometimes being able to shut the door to the rest of the house is better than a Calgon escape. Don’t blow the opportunity when it comes!
- Ever written off expenses on a home office deduction? Two words: IRS Audit.
- There’s enough distractions at home – the last thing you need is a distracting work area.
- Kids make enough messes in the rest of the house – you need somewhere to go to feel sane.
- Would you ever get anything done in an office job with a pile of laundry on your desk?
- Ever had a client meeting over dirty diapers? Nice. That’ll close the deal for ya!
- Do you really want to spend as much time looking for your pen as I do looking for my keys?! Trust me – you don’t.
- Moldy dishes don’t belong on your desk, they belong in the kitchen sink or on your husband’s bedside table.
- I dare you to write a legible email while SpongeBob is on in the same room – go on, I dare you!
- Desk set, $1000. Computer and phone system, $1400. An actual conversation with another adult? Priceless.

I’d love to have an organized home office, but I’m not sure how I’m going to keep my kids out of it (but I have written a legible email while Spongebob is on… but I guess it depends on your definition of legible)
