After telecommuting from home for almost 18 months now and after part time telecommuting for 5 years before that I have learned over and over again how to work almost anywhere in the house.

A laptop gives you a lot of freedom to work, but you have to utilize a little creativity to make sure that you are productive working anywhere.  Sometimes our home furniture does not enable the most productive setting or for that matter the most ergonomic setup to enable you to work for a long stretch of time without succumbing to fatigue, hitting ‘hybernate’ on the laptop and crashing on your couch.

So as you get setup don’t default and put your laptop on your lap.  Find a small table of the right height to enable you to work comfortably and safely.  Don’t rely on the finger pad if you are used to using a mouse.  Find a way to setup a mouse to work wherever you are.
