WORKING FROM HOME

So many BCBAs work from the comfort of their own homes, at least for part of the day. Without an office, things can get a little complicated! This page is dedicated to easing the stress that can come along with working from home.

WORKING FROM HOME CAN BE BOTH WONDERFUL AND IMPOSSIBLE. WHILE IT'S NICE TO RELAX AND COMPLETE A TREATMENT PLAN FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR COUCH, THERE ARE SO MANY DISTRACTIONS (THE FRIDGE) AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PROCRASTINATE WHEN YOU'RE WORKING FROM HOME. IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THESE DISTRACTIONS, COFFEE + COOPER HAS SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON CREATING A PRODUCTIVE SPACE IN YOUR HOME.

Setting up a Home Offce

STEP ONE

DESIGNATE A WORK SPACE

Working from your dining room table isn't going to cut it. You need a place where you can leave your data sheets, display your calendar, and focus on behavior analysis. This shouldn't be your bed, your couch, or your kitchen counter. Think in terms of stimulus discrimination! You want a place that will signal "time to work".

STEP TWO

DECLUTTER AND ORGANIZE

Your work space should inspire you to work, not inspire you to walk away because it's disorganized and cluttered. Create a filing system to ensure your space stays organized and clean your space at least twice per week.

STEP THREE

DECORATE

Decorating your home office will encourage you to keep it clean and organized. There are so many great finds on Etsy to help you make your home office unique!
