Con puestos de trabajo a distancia, carreras independientes, y la flexibilidad del empleador, más y más personas están optando por salir de los nueve a cinco en un cubículo. En cambio, están quedándose en casa.
Cortar la distracción lugar de trabajo, oficinas de hacinamiento, y lo más importante, los tiempos de viaje, aquellos que pueden obtener en línea y realizar su trabajo sin salir de casa son generalmente más felices y más productivos. Y tampoco nadie los juzga por permanecer en sus pijamas últimos 10 a.m. o lo que comen para el almuerzo. Prima.
Sin embargo, conseguir en horas de trabajo productivo requiere un espacio que permite.
Si usted no ama el espacio que esté trabajando, honestamente, que tendrá un tiempo difícil entrar ahí. Y todos sabemos que es bastante difícil conseguir el trabajo hecho en primer lugar, ¿verdad?
Aquí están nuestras ideas de oficina 9 caseros para su espacio más productivo sin embargo:
Encontrar el espacio adecuado
Elegir el espacio adecuado en su casa por una oficina puede parecer una obviedad, pero tome un momento para considerar todas las opciones. Puede parecer obvio para tomar el dormitorio más pequeño o menos-usado, pero es la más grande, más soleado dormitorio de invitados una mejor opción? ¿Puede la sala de hacer una doble función, cuando los huéspedes frecuentes se quede con usted?
Si usted tiene el lujo de una gran casa, también es importante tener en cuenta si se quiere o no quiere estar en una zona de alto tráfico. Si usted se concentra mejor, mientras que en medio del ruido y de la actividad, una habitación al lado de la sala de estar es una buena opción. Para tranquilidad de asilo, un dormitorio de repuesto por un pasillo debería proporcionar más paz y la soledad.
Tener todo en la lista
Usted no pondría sus cubiertos en su cuarto de lavado, así que no cuente con la oficina lo más completo hasta que esté completamente equipada con plumas, papel, sobres, y los cargadores cada vez más importantes. El menor número de veces en un día que tienen que ir en busca de algo, mejor.
But hey, don’t forget to take breaks. No reason to pack a lunch, right?
Embrace natural light
Human beings are programmed to feel happier (and hopefully see increased productivity) when exposed to natural light. Take whatever window space you have and emphasize it with the layout of your home office. If space permits, break the cubicle-standards and float your desk away from a wall, parallel to the window. You’ll be positioned to enjoy the view without having to deal with glare.
And artificial
All the windows in the world won’t give you enough light when it’s dark outside, so don’t overlook the ambiance and practicality of accent lighting. This is also a great opportunity to style your office with lighting decor. The addition of a task lamp, table lamp, and floor lamp can combine to create a wide variety of moods. Perfect for winter working, when even not-so-early-risers are up before the sun.
Store things the way you store things
One of the more glorious parts of working in a home office is that there’s no company-issued metal filing cabinet plopped in your workspace. However, you’ll still need a place to store important papers. Look for chic-but-practical storage solutions. Magazine racks are good for those who like to keep their documents vertical. If you’re a paper stacker like me, a simple bin keeps piles looking somewhat organized and intentional.
Be at ease
Pinterest is great for office inspiration, but take most of what you see with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, function should far outweigh form. Nothing speaks to this so clearly as the selection of a desk chair. You don’t have to go for bulky black leather, but you should be sure that your choice provides great back support and promotes good posture — Chic plastic or wooden chairs aren’t going to cut it for this job.
Save your neck (no, really) by keeping the top of your computer at eye level. You’ll look slightly down on your screen, keeping your lids partially closed and fighting fatigue. There are plenty of stylish options for monitor and laptop stands that will give you the boost you need.
Go green
It’s no secret that a plant or two can make a big difference in any room in your home. Pick out a few low-maintenance plants that will thrive in your office environment. Succulents are usually a safe choice, as well as classics such as snake or rubber plants.
Are you a habitual flower buyer? Pluck a few from the dining room table bouquet and add them to a vase on or near your desk.
Get comfortable
Sweatpants are the official apparel of working from home, right? But getting comfortable is more than just clothes and desk chairs. If your office space is large enough, you may consider adding a reading chair or daybed for taking calls or taking breaks.
If you expect to have visitors in your office, designate some space for them as well. Will you opt for a more informal setup, as described above, or stick with simple chairs facing your desk space? Either way, setting up your office to accommodate both you and anyone you invite into your office requires thought as to how you’ll use the space.
Make it yours
Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean that your home office should be without personal touches. Photographs of your family, inspiring quotes or artwork, and meaningful knick knacks can make your office feel more approachable and your own.
