Cincinnati April 2021

Within the recent exciting coverage
of Perseverance’s landing on Mars,
you may have seen the side story
on NASA’s deputy project manager
for the rover, Jennifer Trosper. Like
many of us across the globe, Trosper
has been working remotely since
the early days of the pandemic. And
again, like many of us, she is carving
space out of her home to dedicate
to her work. While her children were
remote learning in other rooms and
the occasional load of clothes ran
through the rinse cycle or tumbled
in the dryer, Trosper set up her base
for mission control from a small desk
inside her home’s laundry room.
While our roles during this may not be quite as exciting
as Trosper’s, our solutions for workspace can be
just as creative. Those of us who are fortunate enough
to have a study in our home, are dusting off the desk
and shelving and bringing these areas up to date with
technology. The rest of us are finding areas for quiet
contemplation or chaotic Zoom calling, in guest rooms,
dining rooms, unfinished basements, and more.
Here are some home office ideas—ranging from
modest to grand—that might offer you a tip or two on
how to make your remote work more productive and
enjoyable.
