A messy workspace is more than just unpleasant look at and not so fun to work in, it also cuts into your productivity. I’ve put together a list of things you can do to organize all those cables, accessories and peripherals, cutting the clutter and boosting your productivity.

As more and more jobs move from the cubicle to the internet, the home office has become increasingly important. However, many home office spaces are crowded and disorganized. Creating a cleaner and more tranquil office space will ensure that you stay on task and be productive.

Working from home is an increasingly popular trend. Doing so saves on office space, commute time and many of the expenses of having a team working in a centralized building. It can also be an attractive option for employees. I worked from home on a part-time basis for a decade and switched to full-time over five years ago —I can’t even picture going back to a traditional office. But if you’re going to make this work, you have to take it seriously (it’s not all coffee on the deck and hanging out with the dogs) and your PC is a central component. I’ve put together suggestions on how to set up your PC to work from home.

 The right technology and the right equipment are a crucial part of doing business. In this post, I take a look at the steps to help you get your business set up for success with all the right gear.

It’s, like, phones or something? Does it talk? Well, if you’ve also been wondering just what the heck an Ooma actually is, read on and I’ll fill you in on the benefits of Ooma for offices.

 Are you looking to start a home-based business, but are worried about what it all entails, and more importantly, how much it will cost?

There are many tweaks and system upgrades that will help your PC perform better and seem more responsive. One of the overlooked ways you can boost performance is through faster Wi-Fi. Here’s how upgrading to 802.11ac can make your computer faster than ever.

 As much as we think that we must be in a fully digital age, you can’t help but realize that there are still some fairly “old school” things you need to get you through school. It’s nice that we can attend classes and look at itineraries on phones, laptops and tablets these days but you have to remember that the amount of help they can give you is limited to battery life and storage space. Check out this list of 10 traditional school supplies you’ll still need to carry with you in 2016.
