How To Create A Home Office Sancturary on a Budget
Create a Home Office Sanctuary in Sydney
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics over 1 million Australians currently work from home. That’s a lot of people watching TV on their lunch break.
Even more Australians probably work at home that aren’t capture in the stats. And who can blame them?
A Melbourne University study from February 2013 found people who work from home get more done and feel less stressed. The National Broadband Network should see the number of Australians working in a home office at least part of the time increase even more.
But, as home-workers will know, the right space can make the difference between productive and procrastinating with regular trips to the fridge.
Here are some simple tips to help you create a functional haven
- Have a designated work space & actually work there. As tempting as it is to work from the comfort of your couch you’re not doing yourself any favours mentally or physically by working from an area of relaxation.
- Space permitting, get yourself a proper desk or table and make it your specified productivity area. Try not to use the area for anything but work.
- If you’re strapped for space, a corner of your dining room table will suffice but make sure it’s always free from clutter and ready to be used for the working day. Stacks of mail, dirty plates and unfolded laundry are total productivity killers.
