Command Central


You would think with a degree in Vocational Home Economics Education I would be a very efficient person, well such is not the case. However, the information I learned while getting my degree has helped me overcome some of my bad habits.
Recently, my house was in its usual disarray when I decided the computer no longer belonged in the bedroom. I would move the “office” to the living room. My Feng Shui training (which consists of one statement I read on the back of a Feng Shui for Dummies book) guided me in finding the "seat of authority". In other words, I knew I couldn’t sit with my back to the room. The living room is small, so I decided to pull the sofa out into the middle of the room as a divider, creating a sitting area and an office area. I pushed my desk up against the back to the sofa and sat there surveying the room. I had found the spot.
I didn’t like seeing the back of the computer monitor when I sat in the living room area, so I hid it with a plant. A lamp on the desk came in handy no matter what side of the couch you were on. Things were taking shape, when I realized that I could watch television and be on the computer at the same time, creating for me a multi-media experience. So, mouse and remotes in hand I accidentally created what I call Command Central. This is my place, where I can be surrounded by things that make me happy and be productive.
Everybody needs a Command Central, so if you don’t have one, find a place for one. Maybe you have carved out a niche in you house that is “your area” and all it needs is a little tweaking. Let me know what you come up with, and as always, I'm available for consultation. After all, I am trained professional. :)
