Sharing An Office With A Loved One

Entrepreneurs often
start their businesses
by working out of their homes.

With the Great Pause,
many additional people
are also working out of their homes.

If there are two people
doing this
in the same household,
that can cause some unique issues.

Like anything new,
it is often trial and error
at first.
You talk about the set up.
Try it.
Talk about whether or not
it works for both of you.
Tweak it.
Try it again.
Talk about the results once more.

Communication is key.

Dr. Rhonda Richards-Smith
shares

“From the need
to have separate work areas
to setting ground rules
about interruptions
throughout the day,
be clear with your partner
about your boundaries
and be open to hearing theirs.”

Remember that caregivers
ALSO need a working space.
He has to make calls,
complete paperwork,
work on projects also
and his work space
should be as valued.

Prepare for some
trial and error
when you share
a work space.
Communicate about this.
