Your Home Office is Your Bedroom? Reduce the Stress!
How many of us moonlight at home to earn the additional income that one job used to provide! Now that we are moonlighting with our computers, and often the only place for a computer is our bedroom, so we bring stress with us 24 hours a day!
Experts recommend reducing clutter in our bedrooms, and trying to avoid having anything in our bedrooms that has nothing to do with sleep. This creates a real problem if the bedroom is the only place left for that computer.
Your selection of a computer desk can help very much. We are so used to the 'cube farm' look, with everything spread out an in the open, we forget that it is very distracting and stressful for the bedroom. Who can sleep with all those sticky notes and to-do lists, email and bills laying out for you to ponder and dream about?
One wonderful and old-fashioned solution is to use a roll-top desk. The Amish have resurrected this age-old design with great beauty and cleverness. They have made versions perfect for a computer, with enough cubbies and storage space to run your entire business from. Even if you have piles of paper and notes laying out on your desktop, when it is time to retire, all you need to do is close the roll top and everything is 'closed for business.'
Another solution the Amish have is to recreate the old armoires with doors, but update them for your computer and electronic equipment. These are as elegant as any formal piece, and are as natural for a bedroom as a dresser, but they also allow you to close up shop.
Another serenity enducing feature of the Amish built desks are extremely clever and totally hidden 'security nooks' which give you places to hide important things. Your entire list of passwords and access codes, bank account numbers, private discs and spare cash can all be secreted and secured in these very elegant desks.
If you need to sleep at night, and also need a workspace in your bedroom, for your health's sake, take a look at these incredible pieces. Removing your work from your consciousness when you are getting ready for sleep will go a LONG way to help you get the rest you need.
