And here's how to do it..

TRY to establish a separate, self-contained work area.

ENSURE your work area is well-lit and your computer screen glare-free.

CHOOSE a place where the temperature can be controlled - the garden shed may be perfect in summer but too chilly in winter.

PICK somewhere away from distracting noises such as dogs, children and televisions.

INVEST in a good chair.

ENSURE your computer equipment is secure, safe from viruses and compatible with the main office software.
