Home work space suggestions. Your Gerstad home already has you covered with the technological aspect, We have you covered with some tips on how to remain focused while working from home. First, remember to keep work and relaxation separate. Studies show that trying to work in a space where you are accustomed to relaxing is a fruitless endeavor. Wherever you choose to work, feel like you’re at the office rather than getting ready for a movie night.Â
Don’t underestimate the power of mother nature! Fresh air and greenery can help increase oxygen levels and productivity. No one wants to work in a stuffy space. Open a window and invest in some new office plants. This will brighten up your work space and perhaps even result in you looking forward to stepping into the office.
Commuting!
Maximize your morning “commute.†If you’re walking downstairs in your pajamas and eating breakfast at your desk, it is hard to get into work mode. Instead, treat your mornings like you actually have a commute to make. Wake up, get ready, eat breakfast, and then step into your work space. Take a few minutes to center yourself in the mornings can lead to more head clarity and productivity as the day goes on. Don’t forget about necessary breaks either. Having a designated lunchtime or set break during the day helps to alleviate burn out.Â
