Minimalist Home Office Revamp
Monday, April 18, 2022I've been working at home since late 2010 after resigning at a BPO company. My former colleague introduced me the basics of working online through oDesk (now called Upwork) and since then, I grasped the opportunity to learn working at the comfort of our home.
Honestly, the route wasn't that easy and it is expensive. I have to set up my office at home and need to have an internet connection. 10 years later as working from home becomes in demand alongside the pandemic crisis, getting a client may it be part time or permanent is hard nowadays. But I was lucky that two of my client get me onboard directly and we left Upwork due to higher fees.

This was my old table and chair, way back 2011 when I first acquired it |
It took me more than 10 years to finally set up a new desk for my work. At first I bought a minimalist cabinet for my files and also our homeschooling files as well. I always wanted to have one.

When I receive my yearly Gift Pass from SM, I decided to use it for buying my office desk. Finally, I was able to score one this time. Although at first I didn't like the color because of wood and black aesthetique. which is different from my "white minimalist" desire, I tend to realize that having white desk would be bothersome to make it clean everytime. Besides, my printer which is black in color blends well with it.

Now, I was able to put my photobooks and our wedding album on my desk since there are shelves |

Lastly, I was also able to buy a wireless keyboard with mouse for my easy typing/ My work requires data entry most of the time and having a good keyboard and working mouse easy to navigate with is important to me. I choose white so it blends well with my current laptop. My only worry is that I hope the keys will not fade easily this time.

My home office is now 90% complete since I still wanted to have a desktop this time rather than a laptop. But I have to prioritize buying other things first before I got a hold of a new desktop. Hopefully soon.
