A couple of weeks ago, we all could not even imagine that we would work remotely from home. Working from home, remotely, in our minds was clearly associated with IT specialists. For some it is stress, for someone joy, but working from home requires strict discipline. It is so difficult not to let yourself relax and try to devote time to work. Or maybe watch your favorite series?
Let’s treat this time not only as a test, but also as an opening of new opportunities.
So, you work from home, so it is more important than ever to organize an effective workplace at home. It does not have to be a large space. You can organize a workplace in the bedroom, living room or even transform a small closet.
6 key tips for organizing a workplace at home:
- You will need discipline and self-organization.
- A quiet place, away from home distractions.
- A powerful computer, the Internet. A comfortable table and chair.
- Enough space to store files and stationery.
- Make sure you are comfortable working at your laptop or monitor. A charger will help you stay connected.
- Add a wall calendar, for example in the kitchen, and write a schedule for each family member, a list of household chores for the week or month.
Your workplace should be versatile – after all, it serves as a place to store personal documents, as well as a small office space. Wall-mounted perforated panels and organizers are another great way to keep your countertop free from clutter.
