Nothing makes working from a *Computerized Home Office* more frustrating than not being able to locate anything when you need it. While most Business Owners see themselves as being busy all the time, some of your time has to be spent in staying organized. On a daily basis, you have to set aside time to put everything in its place. There is a place for everything, within your reach. I have various Business Card files, Index Card files, Note files, Steno Book Transcription files, Teleseminar/Webinar files etc., that I must organize.
Many people have to find the time to do things over, but seldom have the time to do it right the first time. Usually because they can’t locate information, they will have to recreate it, which will take a lot more time than the five seconds it might have taken to put it in its right place to begin with. You must also Organize your Mail ~ Offline, and Email ~ Online. Being able to find the staples when your stapler runs out can save a precious few minutes you will spend going through the desk drawers, or worse going to the store to buy more, knowing you have a new box somewhere in the office.
The amount of office supplies you maintain in the *Computerized Home Office* will depend on your Internet Business, as well as your budget. Regardless, don’t let your desk become a storage area for your supplies. Use an old dresser of bookcase on which to keep your Office supplies, while keeping only a small stash on your desk or in the desk drawers. When you put supplies in a storage area, make sure the Tags are visible for easy identification.
To keep your *Computerized Home Office* running smooth, consider your desk the focal point of the *Computerized Home Office*. Your Computer, Printer and Fax needs to be within easy reach of your desk chair. If you have to get up every few minutes to answer the phone, grab a Fax or check the Printer, you are wasting several precious minutes everyday reaching for things. Files that you are currently working on should be stored on USB Flash Drives, which are very convenient and portable, or your Hard Drive, or Documents File, within your Computer.
There are many USB Organizers, that you can use to keep all of your USB Flash Drives by your Computer, for daily use. Ideally, you can open all the files you intend to conquer that day and continue to Organize them. The best thing about using USB Flash Drives, is that you can take them anywhere in the World and connect them to any Computer, to retrieve your Files and Information ~ even to School! :-)
While it may seem easier, especially for caffeine addicts to have their coffee pot near their desk, it is a bad idea overall. First, too much coffee can be bad for the health as well as a contributing factor to extra bathroom breaks. However, the primary reason is the potential for a damaging coffee spill by drinking coffee at your desk. Everyone needs to take a break from their work periodically, and having the coffee pot in a separate room can force you to take a few minutes to clear your head.

*RESEARCHING ONLINE HOME BASED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES*
With today’s job market being diluted by outsourcing, many people are suddenly finding themselves out of a job. Sitting around the house all day worrying about what you will do when your savings is gone is not a good thing, and with the number of *Online Home Based Business Opportunities* available for operating your own *Online Home Based Business is continually growing.
However, finding a *Online Home Based Business* you can operate from home, will take some research and should be aligned around your interests, knowledge and experience. Once you begin a *Online Home Based Business*, you will need to work it as a traditional job because income from that business is what will pay your bills and keep you from going hungry. It will also consume a lot of your time and energy so it needs to be something that you like. Most people hear, as they are growing up, that the best job in the world is the one you would do for free if you did not have to worry about your bills.
The same holds true for starting a *Online Home Based Business*. It should be something you like to do and are willing to work at in order to pay the bills. Otherwise, it’s just another job. For example, a person who has a lot of experience working with their hands and building things out of wood or metal may find a *Online Home Based Business* performing furniture repair or refinishing suited to their hobby. They can also create and market woodcraft items, selling them *Online*, through local retailers or at craft markets, effectively having their own Online Home Based Business selling things they make in their home workshop.
Another example is a person who has worked as an accountant for someone else for years, who suddenly find his or her job has been eliminated. They can open their own accounting service performing Online Billing and Online Invoicing for other Small Businesses. Many new businesses cannot afford to hire a full~time accountant and by working with several small companies, you can create several Online Income streams to help make ends meet. Simply drawing on your experience and knowledge learned while working for someone else can often lead to ideas for starting a *Online Home Based Business*. In many cases, most of the work can be done at home, telecommuting with clients.
In other businesses, you may have to travel to meet with clients or attend shows at which to sell your products. Either scenario will provide an income earned through your *Online Home Based Business* while paying the bills. Before deciding to open a *Online Home Based Business*, you should check with your local zoning department to make sure there are no zoning laws against operating a *Online Home Based Business* out of your home. Typically, if the business has no reason for clients to visit and no signs are posted in the front yard, there should not be any problems with starting a successful and Legitimate *Online Home Based Business*.

~ ONLINE HOME BASED BUSINESS SCHEDULE ~
In order to create an efficient schedule, you need to write down all the daily tasks that need to be accomplished during the day. Once you have these tasks written down, then you can begin to create a schedule. Based on the number of hours you want to work each day, you should set realistic times for completion, so you aren't rushing through them. Instead, you can take your time to make sure they are done correctly. Many people believe they can accomplish more during the day than is actually possible, so learning how to budget time and gauge how much time each tasks takes can help you plan for your day.
Investing in a calendar, dry erase board, and other materials to create your schedule will help in the long run. Once you have a list, you can check off items as they are completed, add or subtract from the list, and determine how long you need to work each day. The more time you put into your *Business* in the beginning, the more successful it will be. *Online Businesses* are a wonderful opportunity for you to *Work From Home*, but you need to maintain a Work Ethic that is strong. Because you may have to complete various tasks that others in your previous job may have completed, you will find that there aren't enough hours in the day to get all the work done. This will change once your Business is established, but you may need to put in extra hours in the evening and on weekends in order to make your *Business* grow.
*Online Home Based Businesses* that sell products to others will require more work than selling services, or digital items such as ebooks and manuals, ezines, etc, that can be downloaded onto a customer's computer, in a very efficient manner. If you sell products on *Online Auction Sites* or through a *Website*, you will have to work out a packing and shipping schedule so you are not spending all of your time running to the post office to ship an order. Selecting one or two days a week to pack and ship items will help your work load tremendously. Depending on the popularity of your product, you may need to increase these days, especially around the holidays.
When you stay focused on running your *ONLINE HOME BASED BUSINESS* and sticking to a schedule, you will find that success is not difficult to achieve.
Here are a few *Profitable and Legitimate Websites* that you can learn how to *Make Massive Incomes* as an *Affiliate Marketer* ~ from *Home* ~ with your *Online Home Based Business*, just as I enjoy doing. You may cut and paste these Website Addresses into your Browser, or click on the links to take a FREE Tour of these Top Of The Line Businesses which may provide Multiple Streams of Income:
