Home offices have evolved from a luxury to a necessity in today's economic climate. More and more people are working at home, either for their employer, for themselves or sometimes both. As recently as a decade ago, homes were not both shelter and workplace, but computers have changed things whereby most individuals now perform some work functions at home. In addition, today's job picture has many people seeking entrepreneurial opportunities if their previous employment either disappeared or was out-sourced or scaled back.Rather than work in a space such as the kitchen that is also shared with other family functions and members, the home office devoted to just working provides a quiet space to focus on the task at hand, speak to clients and vendors without interruption and establish a separation between work and home. As such, a home office can pay for itself by providing a dedicated space where the employee/business owner can work more efficiently and productively. The kitchen counter or a card table set up in the basement playroom cannot provide those intangible benefits. As someone who has worked out of the home for 30 years, it has been imperative to have a dedicated space out of the fray of daily home life, especially with children.
Also, with today's push for a "greener" environment and the desire to save time and money not commuting to some far away office, telecommuting and working out of the home fits the definition perfectly of a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
