Your first task is to create a workspace in your house that is conducive to WFH. Ideally, you would work in a room by yourself disconnected physically from the rest of the world. Invest in the right modular furniture for offices at home to make it comfortable. Keep your desk clean and tidy. An untidy and unorganized desk would give you a scattered feeling and impact your mind negatively 

Make sure you have a wall or background that suits a Skype or video call with colleagues. With all meetings shifted online, you must present yourself properly, keep your background clean and professional.

A Chair for Only you

A chair is very important as the ergonomics of your home office chairs is directly proportional to your productivity. As most of your time will be spent on the chair, make sure the chair is excellent for your back and doesn’t have any negative impact on your posture.

If you don’t have an adjustable office chair, use pillows or cushions to give your body a comfortable posture while sitting. Also, try not to sit for more extended periods in the same position. Keep moving around or stand once in a while.

Lighting is Everything

Lighting in your room only accentuates the whole mood. We don’t want any dim or gloomy atmosphere in our zone. Do we? A table lamp on your desk will also not let your eyes get strained quickly. Ensure the light in your room not too dim as well as not too bright.

Wall Art for Good Vibes

Wall art motivates you and also improves your mood. Try to get your home office a wall art or two, which also makes your background look cool during video calls, but don’t forget that it should be appropriate for office video calls. Refrain from hanging controversial, religious, or political wall arts, which would be visible in your online meetings. If you are too bored with the same wall art, move around the wall arts in your house, you give a refreshing twist to your decor. 

Furbish your Room

Your Home office not only needs to be neat and tidy but also should make you feel fresh and perk up your mood. It should reflect your personality. Add some greenery to space, and it will make you stay and work longer at your home workstation. Additionally, put some flowers on the table. Having few indoor plants inside the room not only makes it look green and bright, but it also generates fresh air in this environment. 

Apart from the above essentials, you also try a few other different things to amp up your productivity while working from home. Get your Laptop, diary, pen, cell phone, and chargers in one place. If you are in a noisy house, invest in a noise cancellation headphone. Use a mouse for better efficiency. If you have kids, figure out who will take care of the children and keep them from disturbing you with schools closed. In the end, your surroundings will have an effect on your mental agility and productivity.
