In praise of a door (on your office)

by Jennifer Hofmann on February 11th, 2008

I’ve been known to extol the virtues of an office with a door - especially for home businesses. It’s convenient. Messy inside? Close the door. No one will see in. Need quiet? Need to just be left alone? Close it. Problem solved.

The other benefit is that it really allows the office to represent the place where business happens. It’s turf. That’s why I’m so tickled that Anne Wayman at The Golden Pencil has finally arrived: she has a door.

Not only does she have a door, but a whole room to devote to her work. It’s a powerful choice that can have a great impact on her productivity. I’ll be interested to see how things go for her business in the near future.

Here’s Anne’s post about her door and new office. And I’d love to hear from you - do you have a door for your office? How does it work for you and how do you like it?
