At Kaeser & Blair, we promote working from home and being your own boss. However, working productively from home can be a challenge if you don’t have the right workspace set up. Read our tips below for how to create a productive home office!
Tips for Setting Up Your Home Office
Choose the Quietest Place Possible
Depending on your home’s layout, this may be a challenge, but choosing the most distraction-free place in your home will help you stay on track. While some people work best with a little background noise, some need total peace and quiet in order to be productive. No matter what type of worker you are, we recommend choosing the quietest space possible so you can better control the noises around you.
Find an Organization System that Works Best for You
Once of the worst things you can do for your productivity is to have a messy, cluttered workspace. Whether you have stacks of paperwork to organize or several cups of cold coffee sitting around, your workspace should remain free of everything you don’t immediately need. Giving yourself free space leaves more room for your work.
Surround Yourself with Items You Enjoy
Your workspace doesn’t have to be bare! Bring in a potted plant, some photos of your family/pets, or other knick-knacks that make you smile. By making your workspace your own, you’ll be more likely to spend time there. Just don’t overload your home office with clutter and keep your main working surface clean.
Keep the House Tidy
If you’ve ever worked from home, you might relate to the feeling of not being able to concentrate until other things in your house are done. Whether it’s dirty dishes in the sink or an unswept floor, those tasks are in the back of your mind as you’re trying to focus on your work. If you find you can’t be productive with household chores on your mind, do your best to keep your home tidy so you can devote all your attention to your job.
