Tips to Make the Perfect Work From Home Set-up

A lot of us are getting used to a big change this year — working from home, either permanently or for the foreseeable future. To be successful at work, it’s important to have a comfortable, functional work-from-home setup. Here are a few tips to make your work environment successful.

Get the right tools

Of course, you’ll need the basics: a computer, charger, headphones, and desk. However, if you want to improve your productivity, you may consider other equipment such as a standing desk, extra monitor, noise-canceling headphones, or an ergonomic chair. It all depends on your situation, but using better equipment could greatly improve both your productivity and comfort.

Try to create boundaries

It can be difficult to create boundaries between work and leisure. After all, who doesn’t want to work from a cozy couch? The problem arises when work majorly seeps into leisure and off-time. Setting strict time boundaries, such as scheduling a lunch break away from your computer, are seemingly small things that can make a big impact.

Make an actual set up

We’re looking at everyone who’s still working from the kitchen table. It’s time to get a real desk! This will improve not only your posture but also encourage you to do better work. Too much furniture, or not enough room in your home for a real set up? Consider renting a storage unit short-term. Make sure you have enough room to work and live in the same space.
