Invest in technology

Since you're working at home, it is usually your responsibility to have a reliable desktop or laptop that will let you fulfill your tasks. You may also need to purchase applications and other hardware (a second monitor can make all the difference in the world!) depending on the nature of your work.

You don't want to experience your tools shutting down in the middle of your work or right before you submit a project. Spare yourself from that kind of stress by investing in them. They can make your job a lot easier and more comfortable to do.
