The Easiest Ways to Set Up Portable Home Offices

In many homes, where space is limited and at premium, portable home offices is the best option.

Stationary desktop computers, paper files, fax machines and other office equipment were once required for a home office, but lightweight, portable and wireless equipment have made it much easier to set up portable home offices. A phone, laptop computer, and an internet connection are sometimes all that is required to turn the dining room table into a workspace. Some workers opt to take work on the road, and can perform all that’s required of them in a wide variety of locations, from hotels to coffee shops.

By switching to portable home offices, the space can be put to other uses outside of office hours.

Ideally, the portable home offices are paperless, relying on computer documents and emails wherever possible. When this is not an option, a mobile filing system is required. In some cases, a single binder or folder can be used to hold essential documents. Wheeled caddies are also available for storing larger files.

The laptop computer is perhaps the most useful item for portable home offices. Unlike the bulkier desktops, the laptop can be used virtually anywhere, although if used for long periods, access to an electrical outlet will be required. Depending on the user’s computing needs, small and inexpensive net-book computers are sufficient. For those with heavier demands, larger laptops with more memory and bigger hard drives are also available, as are additional batteries that can be swapped out when necessary.

Some office equipment may still be needed as well. In many cases, printers and scanners are used infrequently, and do not need to be kept in the workspace. Wireless connections allow these machines to be used while stored out of the way in another room. Depending on the nature of the work, other specialized equipment may be required. By identifying which items need to be at hand and which can be stored until needed, set up of the portable home offices can be dramatically simplified.
