    The start of a new year often means a commitment to eliminating clutter and getting organized at home. Here are some ways your home office can do a better job of making your life easier and more efficient.

    Lighting is essential in a home office, from natural light to task lighting, to keep a clear head and spirit. Position your work area to take advantage of natural light and views while protecting your computer screen from glare. Avoid positioning your screen directly in front of a light source, as this can lead to eyestrain and headaches.
