Working from your home can be more convenient but it can also be more distracting and less productive than working in a formal office environment. While everyone has different habits and different needs for maximum productivity, here are the top ways to make your home office the most productive space possible. Find the right space: This seems like a no-brainer but it’s the first and most critical step in setting up the most productive home office. Depending on personal preference, you might prefer a little background noise that acts as white noise to help you stay focused, but you may be a person who needs to seek out the quietest nook away from any distractions. Declutter: Your mom was right about decluttering. Getting rid of extra papers and pens and organizing the items on your desk will you help your concentration. Declutter often so that your work area doesn’t turn into an overwhelming mess. Let Furniture Fair help your stay organized: Burkesville Desk Decorate: Simple decorations such as canvas prints or framed photos can make you feel more comfortable in your office and lead to higher productivity. The ergonomics of it all: Your office chair, computer mouse, keyboard, etc….these are all things that you use every day for work and that can affect your productivity. If your back is aching from sitting, it’s likely time to trade in your chair for something more comfy.

It doesn’t have to be anything massive or fancy, for example, succulents are a great touch for your desk and shelves. Take a break: Whether it’s a novel, a sudoku puzzle book, or a sketchbook, give yourself a break every so often. Most people work better in blocks of time with scheduled 10-15 minute breaks in between, allowing a chance to re-energize for the next working block.
