New year, new home office
If you’re one of those still working full or part-time from home, you may find yourself thinking about a revamp of your dedicated work space.
Setting up your home office correctly from the beginning will help with your productivity. Every home office needs a good computer, potentially an extra monitor, reliable internet connection, a desk, and a comfy office chair. The rest is up to you.
Comfort
Choose a comfortable chair, and also take the time to choose an ergonomic keyboard, mouse, and a desk that can be adjusted to the right height for you.
Speed
To avoid the dreaded spinning icon or an unexpected shut down, don’t cheap out on a computer or internet connection. Your work life will be greatly improved by the smoothness of use that comes with spending that extra money for top-of-the-line equipment.
Light
Let natural light in. Situate your desk in a spot where you can get plenty of natural sunlight. It will boost productivity and decrease drowsiness.
Fun extras to consider
- A walking pad to put under your standing desk to smash out your steps for the day
- Plants to boost your mood
- A smart assistant to save you precious time.
