If you are going to be working from home on the computer you will want to invest in some good home-office furniture. Yep, that hard metal folding chair just won't cut it.
If you are just starting out of course you are going to be hard pressed to justify spending $100 or so on a good chair but you will be glad you did in the long run. Aeron chairs are well known for their high price but there are other options than paying full price.
You can do a quick search and find these high end chairs at savings of up to 75% off the original retail price. Used chairs are as good as brand new since they are touted as being made to last a lifetime. Darwin made this comment that puts things in perspective.
"Some of my coworkers can't understand why I would spend so much on an office chair. I don't understand why these same coworkers of mine will blow thousands more just to upgrade to the leather-luxury package in their cars that they only spend one-half an hour in per day. I spend over eight hours per day on my Aeron, and this one chair will last me a lifetime if I take care of it."
Of course there are many other options besides Herman Miller chairs but just make sure you try them out to see if they work with your body and work space.
The key to setting up your home office is to make it comfortable, workable, and organized. Don't waste your precious time trying to find supplies or important documents. A professional set up will not only keep you on top of things but also make you feel more productive.
