Phase One
While I work for my church as an administrator I do most or my work and all of my coursework from my desk at home. My desk is located in my living room which could be a problem do to the noise from the kids running around as well as the television that is constantly turned up to the max. The most ideal thing about my workspace is that it is located in my home. This gives me the ability to somewhat work at my own pace. Another ideal thing about my workspace is that I actually have my own desk. This is very important to me because I am able to organize it to my liking. My workspace could use a lot of improvement such as location as well as lighting. Location is something that I cannot fix at the moment because my home is only so big but I can work to improve the lighting of the area. My work place is set up with one file box and a candy jar. There are two pictures of my children tacked to the wall but no other personal affects.
Phase Two
As stated above lighting one of the challenges that I need to work on to give me the ideal workplace. Therefore below I will list about ten innovative ideas that could help me improve the lighting of my workspace.

What about the workspace is already optimized or ideal?My space is well lighted.It is spacious and opened.I can use my living room or dining room to do my work.It is a calm environment.I have a nice view when I look out my window.
Why do these things work well?These things make doing my work relaxing.I do not have to make room to work.I can even watch TV or listen to my music.I am also able to hear what is going on around me.
What about the workspace could be improved?My work space is goodbut I cannot close the door to distractions or noise.There is no privacy.I could use more openness.
Are there problems or difficulties that you repeatedly experience?The only things I experience is my five-year-old being in the way and being very noisywaiting my attention or play in my space.I also can do work earlier.
What behaviorsfunctionsand interactions in your workspace are interesting or notable?I am not sure what is interesting it is just my living and dining room.I am able to see my daughter when she is playing.
My problem is that when my child is home or I have company overI have no room for doing work in a quiet environment.No matter where I go I can here noise or distractions.I would need more space to get the room and privacy that I need to work in peace.
Phase2
My list:
Have a larger space.
Move to another part of the house.
Have more privacy.
Be able to put up a door.
Have my child go to her brothers home.
Do work earlier.
Make a closet an office area.
Have other activities for daughter to do while doing homework.
My main goal is to be able to complete whatever I have to do in a user friendlyrelaxed environment.I do not care about the size for the most part.I just need work spacefor about1hour.
