I haven’t been working from my home office for very long, and there were definitely still a few things that I needed to learn, but if there is something that I learned, it is that having air conditioning in your home office is so important.
I didn’t consider air conditioning when setting up my home office, the main things I was focusing on was making sure my computer and my phone were working. Then I made sure to have a good pair of noise canceling headphones, because I knew with all of the noise in the background, I was going to need them. It wasn’t until summer that I realized how important getting a heating and air conditioning machine in my home office was going to be. The temperatures outside were in the 80s, and our central air conditioning unit is not very good right now. The heat was making it difficult to focus, and while I didn’t have enough money to afford a brand new central A/C repair, I could afford a window air conditioner. Window heating and cooling machines don’t have the best reputation, but since the window HVAC device is going to be right next to me, I think it should cool me and the room enough. The best part is that these machines are very cheap. I bought a window HVAC device, and I also decided to go ahead and buy a space heater as well. Although winter was still far off, I knew working when it was cold was not going to be easy either, and that is why I bought a space furnace as well.
