Buying Your Ideal Office Chair

Now that you have your home office set up you are ready to begin working away right? Wrong! Before you get to work, take a look at what you are sitting on. It can be very tempting to drag any old chair into your home office when you are just getting started. Money is tight, and you probably don't have a big budget to work with, so you might be tempted to grab that old folding chair out of the basement and get to work

Never, ever just use any old chair to work from

Even if money is tight, this is one area in your home office where you should spend a little extra money. The office chair that you sit on is very important to your overall success. How could a chair be responsible for your work success you might ask? Well, if you have to be sitting for long periods of time, you are going to want to be comfortable, or you will think of every excuse in the book to not get down to work

Or the chair you're sitting on will be so uncomfortable that you simply can't concentrate on your work for more than a few minutes at a time

So when you are looking for an office chair for your work space, pay close attention to the design of the chair and your own individual needs. How high is your desk

Be sure you find a chair that is height adjustable. Why

Because if you find a great chair that is too high, you will not be able to comfortably sit at your desk and work. Likewise, if your chair is too low, you will be putting a lot of strain on your back, neck and arms reaching up to work

Lumbar support is very important in an office chair, particularly if you have any type of lower back problem

The lumbar support will keep you sitting straight and protect the lower part of your back from undue strain. Without proper lumbar support, you will be likely to slouch which can cause long term back problems. Because everyone is a different height it is important to test out the chair to be sure that the lumbar support fits in the small of your back. If it's possible, or more than one person will be sitting in your chair, find an office chair that has adjustable lumbar support

A good office chair can cost you a lot of money and since you will likely have a low budget for starting up your home office pay attention to sales and discounts. You may be able to find a good quality used office chair at an auction or when a business is being liquidated. Just be sure to inspect the chair carefully if you are purchasing it second-hand. Tears in the fabric on a used chair aren't a major issue but any problems with support for your legs, arms or back is

Remember, an investment in a good quality office chair is a long term investment in your business as well as your health. It's not something you want to take for granted or cut corners on

Working at Home: 7 Follow Up Etiquette Tips

I just learned a valuable lesson. I had a person sign up to learn more about my work at home business. She came in through a coop I was participating in and was a bit confused as to why she received communication from the person who ran the coop as well as me. She simply wanted to know who I was I responded to her in my normal, witty manner. The problem was that she didn't know me and she wasn't impressed with my response. In fact, she was actually insulted She was kind enough to remind me of the old saying," You never have a second chance to make a good first impression" As I thought about this I came to realize that when dealing with people that you don't know and that don't know you, you really need to take care in how you respond and interact with others So, I wrote a few "Follow Up Etiquette Tips" that seem appropriate Tip 1: Respond quickly. Too often we may receive an e-mail or have a me...
