5 Tips to Design Your Home Office To Increase Work Productivity At Home
Whether you’re self-employed or work in an office, chances are you’ve worked from home before and understand how much of an impact the environment can have on your productivity level. Some find their productivity levels increasing with lesser distractions at home, but there are also others on the spectrum that find their work productivity decreasing. While there are certain limitations when it comes to setting up your workspace in the office, you have the freedom to design and set up your workspace at home the way you want.
If your work productivity has been decreasing, it’s time to look at your existing home office ! Here are 5 changes you can look at to improve your productivity while working from home.
1. Quiet As a Mouse
If you are having a hard time to concentrate, it might be time to relocate your home office! Choose a corner of your house that is away from the main road or your children’s play area so that you will not be distracted by the traffic condition on the road or your children’s laughter. With most of us living in a hdb flat, it might be hard to find an ideal quiet room. Consider soundproofing your wall!
Another alternative is playing some white noise in the background. Some find themselves focusing better when they have white noise in the background, while some work better in a quiet zone so they can concentrate on the task at hand. Find out what works best for you.
2. Declutter Like Marie Kondo
Instead of asking if certain items sparks joy on your office desk, ask if they help you to spark productivity. Does it help you in your work? If the tool isn’t necessary, it’s best to keep it away from your desk so that it does not become a distraction in the end! Creating some space allows you to work more efficiently and it also helps to declutter your mind too!
