The Personal-Professional Office

My second job out of college required I have a home office. I was on the road as a sales rep. This was before the age of smartphones and laptop computers. It was the time of landlines and fax machines. I was remote, before the term remote was cool.
Fast forward to today, and I still have a home office. In fact, we have two – one for my wife and one for me. She runs her non-profit and me, my job. It has come to be such a part of my daily fabric of life, I would feel lost without it, even if I was not working. In fact, I think everyone should have their own office or dedicated space in their home to be more productive and time efficient.
I have written and talked about it many times, too many people compartmentalize their use of time into the professional and then personal side of life. If this is you, stop. Take the time to combine the two into one strategy. Having a dedicated “office” in your home is a way to look at and plan time consistently. Whether you are remote, hybrid, or on-site – a structured space at home creates time-optimized opportunities.
Before you get on me about a lack of space in your home, I am not saying you need to do any remodels or make your kids all sleep in one bedroom. Find a place (even if you must set it up temporarily and take it down) where you can have a chance to be focused, better work-life flexibility, enhanced organization, and personal development.

3wGreat insights on the value of having a dedicated home office space! I completely agree—having a defined area for both personal and professional tasks can significantly boost focus and productivity. In my experience, the mental boundary created by a specific workspace isn’t just about efficiency; it’s also about balance. When work time and personal time flow into one another, it’s easy to lose track of priorities or feel overwhelmed. A structured space helps manage that blend. I especially appreciate the emphasis on using this space for personal growth as well. Whether it’s diving into a hobby or tackling a side project, a home office can be a launchpad for both productivity and fulfillment. Thanks for sharing this practical and thoughtful approach to integrating work and life!
