How To Build A Complete Home Office

Published By

“Working from home is easy” I say, as I pull my noise-cancelling headphones even more snug against my ears to drown out the unescapable sounds of kids fighting, dogs barking, and Disney+ movies playing on full volume while UPS rings the doorbell to deliver a package.

Sometimes there’s not enough walls in a house to provide the clarity conducive to meaningful work. Desperate times, however, call for desperate measures as most of America’s work force is quarantined at home — left to continue business as usual in an empty guest bedroom or the shadowy corners of the kitchen. We’re all in this together, so let’s build this home office while we’re still productive.
