Top home design magazine, House & Garden, featured our most recent projects Home Office in their latest online article, Working From Home?
With most people at home working, we thought it might help to share a few tips on how to work well from home.
Get Dressed
Routine is important, and creating clear distinctions between being at work and being at home is key to being more productive. This also helps you move into work mode and be more focused and attentive.
You also want to be seen as the professional you are, so don't wear pyjamas on video calls! Maybe even look for a nice artwork to hang behind you.
Get on the Phone
Video group calls are a wonderful way to connect you with both your family and your friends. We've also heard of virtual tea parties and even a virtual cocktail party last Friday night. Both lovely ideas to help you connect with people. Just because you are at home it doesn't mean you can't keep up with friends and family.
Group video calls also work wonders to keep your team focused and together.
Take Regular Breaks
Just as you would at the office, take a break from the screen. It's very easy to sit at your screen all day long. Take some time out for lunch and a tea break. This will help you create a routine and get through your day more productively.
Clear the Clutter
Wherever you're working from, make sure that you've cleared away the clutter and put away all distractions. Working at a clean desk helps you focus and not feel like you're surrounded by stagnant energy. Read up on Feng Shui and perhaps even look at Marie Kondo's famous method. It all helps.
