5 Ways to Fill Your Home Office with Good Vibes

Are you employed but don’t have to show up at the office every day? Do you find yourself constantly grasping at straws to be productive daily because you work in the same spot you woke up from? Then you probably need to get yourself a home office to work from, right there in your home.

The Covid-19 pandemic took a massive toll on a large portion of the working population in Nigeria. Because of this, many individuals like you now work from home regularly.

And so, you had to move your office from the bed or couch to a makeshift home office. When designing a functional workspace in the house, we must carve out an area that encourages productivity. We must also ensure we have the proper furniture and tools to work comfortably and effectively.

If you will be spending more time working from your home office in the coming weeks, this is the perfect moment to give your office layout the makeover it needs. After using these quick tips, you will find sitting down to face the day quite enjoyable.

Here are some ideas on how to get the best from your home office:

1. CONNECT WITH NATURE

Working remotely, we may feel disconnected from things we enjoy about nature and being outside. Since we spend our entire days indoors. Try to have your workstation or office table facing the window. Studies have shown that views of greenery and nature, even in your peripheral vision, can help you feel relaxed and revitalized. Additionally, it helps you to focus for longer. It’s a good idea to set your desk with a view via a window and appreciate the ambience natural light gives.

Basically, you’ll feel more alert throughout the day and sleep better at night if you are exposed to natural light, which helps regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythms (sleep-wake patterns). 

2. MAKE A HOME OFFICE TABLE YOUR STAY-AT-HOME WORKSPACE.

You would agree using a temporary office setting may be somewhat ineffective. You can tweak that a little by adding a permanent, cosy home for your laptop; or an office table to your 9–5 routine. Find the ideal home office design for your space (a standing desk, folding desk, ladder desk, etc.) and, if possible, select a desk with a drawer to store your notes, files, and laptop when the workday is over.

3. SELECT A COMFORTABLE CHAIR FOR YOUR HOME OFFICE.

Your work chair has been that rickety old dining chair or sometimes your bed or couch, right? No wonder after a long day’s work, you’re always looking for pain relievers to ease your pains. You are wondering why you have a hurting back. Try to not sit cross-legged on the sofa while working with your laptop on your lap. It is harder to focus on work, and the additional strain you put on your body is not helping.

4. ZONE YOUR SPACE.

Also, if you work from your bedroom, it’s critical to split your home office and your bedroom items or furniture intentionally. You need to be able to disconnect from your work environment, and a physical separation will psychologically support you in this.

5. CHECK YOUR WELL-BEING.

Finally, taking regular breaks from your screen will improve your concentration and productivity and relieve tension in your back, neck, shoulders, and arms. A walk in the open air will aid in boosting brain power, increase focus, and lessen stress. You may practice a five-minute meditation or relaxing snack break.
