Welcome to AAAUTHENTIC.com. My name is Jared, and I’ve been working from home since 2010. My roommate at the time and I started up a web design business.
Since then I’ve had many home office set-ups, including a home office overlooking the Toronto skyline with my wife, a home office in a tiny condo with my wife and our two children, and now a home office in a large house with more space.
I’ve had to set up a home office when I was broke, and I only had enough money for an ergonomic chair.
I’ve even set up a home office that doubled as a personal home gym (adjustable bench with two adjustable dumbbells) when my gym closed for several months for renovations.
While working from home has many advantages such as no commute, it’s easier to get work done with no distractions, and spending more time with family—it also has its fair share of challenges.
- What should a home office look like?
- How do you keep it organized?
- How do you improve the ergonomics of the workspace? Keyboards, mice, standing desks, etc.?
- What can we learn from science about boosting productivity when working alone at home?
So, the basis of the site is covering interesting details about working from home, office ergonomics, desk set-ups, and various things of that nature.
