Balancing Work and Home Life – Making the Garage a Productive Space
Living in a small garage meant that Sarah had to look for ways to create workable spaces that would allow her to work and live in a harmonious way. Since remote work and digital entrepreneurship were becoming increasingly common, there was a growing trend where people had workspaces at home. For Sarah, it was important to strike a balance between her personal and professional life in the same space, especially given the limited square footage.
Sarah created a small but efficient office area within the garage, cleverly sectioning off part of the space to accommodate a desk, laptop, and necessary office supplies. The wall-mounted desk was compact, with just enough space for her to complete her daily tasks. By organizing her work area thoughtfully, she ensured that her office didn’t interfere with the rest of her living space. She used vertical storage for files and supplies to keep the space clean and functional. This way, Sarah could work without feeling cluttered or overwhelmed.
Another benefit of having a home office in the garage was that it created a clear boundary between work and personal life. After completing her workday, Sarah could walk away from her desk and transition into relaxation mode. This separation made it easier for her to separate work and personal life, a situation not easily possible when working at home. Sarah was able to continue being productive even in a small space at home since she had identified a small area where she would dedicate to work.
