The Sanctuary in the Home Office By Jeff Zbar
“Would someone please call my cell phone so I can find it?” “Where’s my stinkin’ earbud?” “My wallet. What’d you do with my wallet?!” And it’s only Monday. Sound familiar? So much stuff, so few homes for it. If I could recoup a fraction of the time I spend looking for lost stuff, I could spend it looking for other stuff I’d invariably lose in the interim. But now, there’s organization salvation. There’s a home office productivity solution. There’s The Sanctuary, actually. This power charging station from BlueLounge Designs (about $120 online) creates a very stylish repository for all your power-hungry tech gear. This of it as home office furniture for your stuff. With adaptors for up to 1,500 different products — MP3s, cell phones, data devices, GPSs and the like — it’s an effective de facto “home” for those of us who our wives are keen to note we’d LOSE OUR HEAD IF IT WASN’T ATTACHED. (yes, dear…). But it’s not about the place. It’s about the power. Instead of just putting your cell or Jawbone or iPod on The Sanctuary, you plug it into the wall, and it has nine separate adapters for your stuff (mini & micro USB, two Nokias, two Samsungs, “various brands”, Palm, LG, Sony Ericsson, iPod/iPhone, and a traditional USB plug come standard). They’re all hidden from view. Just snake the ones you need up through a side slot, and — Eureka! — you have power. In stylish white with a black platform and black foam top, it suits most modern decors. Sure, the nine-inch-square size will consume it’s own chunk of real estate. But it’ll look damn good — and functional — doing it. But with its raised lip around the foam base, according to the folks at BlueLounge, The Sanctuary will become a home for all your stuff, including change, watch, shades, business cards, jewelry. Alas, not your head. With The Sanctuary in place (slogan, “Now your things have a place to rest and recharge”), even Tuesday will be a breeze… Since the '80s, Jeff Zbar has been a writer, speaker and spokesman on all facets of working from home and entrepreneurship. His columns and blogs have appeared via Entrepreneur, Success Magazine, Home Office Computing and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and he has been a small business expert on national television and radio.
