I've been working at a variety of companies over the past five years and I've always worked in-house. I've just started as the Director of Sales and Marketing for a small startup with seven employees spread across the USA; we are all freelancers.
Some stuff about me:
- I'm 26 and live in the Bay Area
- Just moved into a new apartment with lots of natural light
- I have a decent desk but my chair is not ideal. Suggestions for office chair solution would be awesome.
- I will be doing a lot of conference calls and demos with clients
- We use Asana and HipChat for internal company communication
Advice I'm looking for:
- Productivity tips
- Organizational tips
- How to separate work from real life (one of the first things I've done is set up VirtuaWin with two desktops: "Work" and "Play" to have a physical separation)
- Setting up a home office
- Tools/hacks/applications you guys use
- Taxes/deductions/how to handle being a 1099-MISC employee
And basically any other advice you guys can give out. Thanks in advance!
