Having a home office is becoming popular. Almost every one be it a student to and an engineer needs a home office. Most people though don’t like the idea of coming home from the office then working, the story is a bit different from that of a freelancer or someone who works from home. For a freelancer, a home office is a must. One of my friends said he doesn’t really need a home office because he can do all his work from where ever God takes him. I paid him a visit after 3 months just to find one of the corners of his living room transformed. I asked him why he had to put- up an office he said, “Man!!! You just can’t do things every where. He actually made me laugh because what he said was the exact opposite of what he said previously.

Why you need a home office?
