Throughout the past few months, a lot of people have discovered the hidden benefits of working from home. Spending less time in traffic, waking up later, a more relaxed dress code – there are plenty of good things that come from not working in an office. However, there are also hidden expenses that may come from working from home that you may not have thought of. Giving some thought to your daily routine could help you decide how best to handle these expenses.
For example, think about where in your home you’re working. Many people don’t have a dedicated office space in their homes, so they’ve made makeshift offices out of dining room tables or laptop tables. While this is fun at first, it may eventually take its’ toll due to ergonomic issues, not to mention the wear and tear of increased activity. In most cases, commercial finishes and furniture are built to last a lot longer than residential items.
