Working from Home? Here's how you can make the best out of your Home Office!
Are you
working from home or napping from home? Pyjamas are the new formals these days.
The pandemic has changed the meaning of WFH as well as it has for many other
things. To businesses to continues, it is a way of living now. Some say working
remotely in their own comfort zone brings out the best in them as it cut down
their travel time and gives one comfort to work in pyjamas while other feel the
vibe of the office is different. Here, how about we try to break the dimension
of the house and office vibe dynamics by bringing the office to your space?
Working from home can be highly rewarding, but
only if one keeps a check on their productivity and maintain a good work-life
balance. It allows you the freedom to create your own space that brings out the
best in you. Here, you can control external involvements while back in the
office your desk is your only sanctuary. But here, the biggest concern that
people have is the struggle they went through in the process caused by myriads
of distractions and temptations that a home space offers that affect their
productivity.
Lockdown has given us no option as you are not
stuck at home, you are safe at home. Find a few quickies discussed below to
turn your home into a great workspace.
Get rid of
all clutters
The first step to give efficient office vibe to
home is by getting rid of all the clutter from your space as they affect the
concentration, and cause lethargy. Get yourself a good and comfortable study
table and chair. It shouldn't be that comfortable that you doze off. Further,
make sure your table is clean and uncluttered as swimming through unwanted
papers and pens hinder one progress. Some essentials that you can keep are
sticky notes to maintain To-do list and keep daily task under watch, folders
and pens handy to note few essential points from Conference Calls. Don’t
overcrowd your space as empty space let you dive deep into the ocean of
thoughts and give you space to prick your minds and think.
Be a mouse
Just like a mouse runs away from a mousetrap and chooses
to stay in the quietest corner of the home, act like one when you wish to set
up your office/study at the home. While some people work effortlessly in the
noise of songs or outside disturbance, there are some who find them incredibly
disturbing. For latter, choose a space far away from the living area with a
Chatterbox on wall, dining area or play area and close that door to work in
peace with a focus in distraction-free space of your house. Basically, stay
away from trafficked areas and bounce on the quiet corner of the house.
Let your
desk breathe
Adding an element of nature around your desk in
the form of plants can bring outside freshness to the interiors of the room,
keeping you all fresh and attentive. You can also set up your study near a window
that entertains fresh sunlight and air to keep the whole vibe of the room
uptight and fresh. Also, this will give your eye some break from screen time
with a variety of natural views. Try keeping the walls of your study in classic
white as it reflects lights and gives an illusion of more space to your space,
adding a mirror might help too. You can add a flower pot on your table to keep
the freshness alive. These are some quick tips that you can incorporate in your
space as working in a small bound study will give a very claustrophobic
feeling, thus hampering your concentration and productivity.
Take
meaningful breaks
The mind needs some rest. That doesn’t mean
switching on social media to further strain your eyes, try a nap of 10-15
minutes, walk around or read something relevant to charge your battery,
productively. Timely managing your breaks will give your brain desired rest
with which it will feel more refreshed. Choose time and slots that work best
with your habits and routine. Do not take too short a break that the tiredness
persists or too long a break that it is ineffective in the end and adds to more
lethargy and disinterestedness. Here also, keep your distractions and break
delight handy and save the hunt time.
All it takes a right
quiet uncluttered space with a beautiful vision to keep you engross and few
strategic habits to make working from home productive
