Now that we’re in the times of Corona, a lot of us have been working from home.
A lot of apartments in Bangalore have made strict rules about no one going in and out of the residential complexes to ensure safety. From real estate in Bangalore to legal services, everything is taking place from home.
While sitting on the sofa with your laptop might seem fun, after a while it gets uncomfortable and leaves you wanting for a professional workspace.
Here are some ways you can create your workspace at home and boost productivity.
- Analyze your work requirements
The first step to creating an efficient workspace is to analyze what kind of work you’d be doing.The answer to that question would determine what kind of space and materials you’d be using.
- Find a quiet spot
While some people don’t mind working in a noisy area, most people prefer working in a quiet space.
A quiet place helps you concentrate, speeds up your work, and boosts productivity.
So, to design your ideal workspace, you’re going to have to look for a quiet spot in your house.
- Let there be light…and air
Make sure your spot has ample light and ventilation.
Working in a well-lit and ventilated area is important for productivity. Small, dark spaces not only affect the quality of work but give you a mental block faster than you would want.
However, while finding a spot with natural light would be perfect, artificial light works too. Be sure to place the source of light in a way that it falls on the desk without creating any shadows.
If you have a window around, be sure to open it during the day while working.
Fresh air keeps your mind and body fresh! - Declutter
Before starting any work, make sure to always declutter your work desk. Throw out all the things you don’t need. If you have some important files and folders that are stacked up on your desk, create a filing system! Organize everything into drawers or shelves.
A cluttered desk is like a cluttered mind- you get very less work done. - Plugin!
Make sure your work desk is near a power outlet. You don’t want to be running around the house charging your devices, or tripping over wires. The best place for a power outlet is under your desk.
Get an extension cord or a multi-plug, plus all the devices to one outlet, and you’re good to go! - Personalise it!
Last but not the least, personalize your workspace. Keep a plant, add a photo frame or hang a poster- personalizing your workspace would prevent it from getting boring. Make this spot your favourite spot at home, give it your personality.
Decorate it in such a way that you would want to work there and get things done.
Whether you live in luxury apartments in Sarjapur road or a 2BHK flat in Whitefield, these tips and tricks are super easy to implement for an efficient and productive work from home lifestyle.Stay safe!
