While setting up a home office, the biggest question “where to put your office?” Well, it doesn’t need to be large or expansive, but it must separate from other areas. If you have an unused room in your house, i.e. guest room, maid’s room, or just another area that you only use a few times a year, you can easily convert that space into a workspace.
It took more than a year for me to completely settle down in my home office, and I tested a lot of things at that time. I know that time is money, so here I am going to share some useful tips that I learned from my own experience. I am sure these will save you time and will help you in setting up your home office faster.

4- Once you’ve everything planned and setup is in the process, make sure that you keep all of your work in that space only.

6- It’s not just about separate space, but dedicated time as well; establish set hours for your work at home, so you should not be working all the time but still being more productive!
7- Never start your day unplanned, and while working from home office, you must plan your tomorrow!
I have a lot more to share related to my journey of setting up and running a home office, i.e. understanding the electrical requirement for a home office, cleaning the home office, and much more. But believe me, if you remember the above 7 points only, your life will be easier than ever before!
