The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that people have been staying home to minimise the spread and reduce the risks of contamination. As such, the “workplace” nowadays has shifted from the bustling office to the home. This consists of dining tables, couches and spare rooms throughout the house.

Working from home is a dream come true for many because there’s no need to commute, and it can be comfortable for staff. However, there are downsides. Distractions can be challenging and sometimes the home environment may not be entirely suited to work until you have made a few often minor changes.

Here’s some ideas to help you make your workspace more useful while keeping everything clean and productive.

Declutter

As simple as it sounds, removing the unnecessary clutter from your desk goes a long way in making you feel more relaxed. Get rid of the old or broken pens, waste paper, old wires and other things that serve no purpose to you besides taking up space. Seeing your workstation cleared up can completely change your work ethic, ultimately affecting your work output. 

Get proper storage solutions

You shouldn’t leave your documents and files just lying about, especially if you’re living with pets or children. It’s important to have proper storage in place to keep your files safe, as well as to prevent making a mess. Investing in storage boxes and a file cabinet is a great place to start. You can also install dry-erase boards with handy markers so you won’t have to rely on scattered paper when taking down notes and reminders. 

Have a rubbish bin ready

Get a small bin that you can empty out after work every day. It’s a good habit to get into, and before you know it, , you’ll realise that clearing up your rubbish is etched into your routine.
