THE PERFECT HOME OFFICE




If you work in the same place where you live, it can be hard to keep distinction between your personal and private life. So it`s very important to set boundaries in a way your private matters don`t interfere with your work. The most important rule here is - you need to have space for work only.
  

Arrange your workplace so that is comfortable, bright and inspiring for you. If you like flowers place some fresh tulips here or grow flowers. Even if you`re not interested in plants it is good to know that it has been proven that different plants in the workplace can reduce stress and increase productivity.

With decorations you can be as creative as you want. You can use photographs, posters, inspirational quotes... It all depends on your personality. And you probably want to work in a place where you enjoy spending time. 

 Colors can have big influence on our mood and productivity. So, if you like pink or orange don`t hesitate. Place that color on some of your 'office walls'. 

It would be great if your working space can be near a window. Your body is this way exposed to natural light, boosting your daytime energy levels. And good lighting is a must.

Try to get an ergonomic chair and avoid the pain. Or, if you want to save some money, use a Pilates ball.  

Keep your desk clean and well organized. Add shelves above or next to your desk cause you can never have too much room for storage.

The temperature is also important because you don`t want to be too cold or too hot. The average ideal temperature for maximum productivity is about 21° C.

Steer clear of the TV and other consumable media, family members, pets.... You need to be concentrated.

And in the end, just sit there and work. :)
