Working from home has many perks — the flexibility in your schedule, the convenience of working in your pajamas, and the ability to interact with your family while getting things done, to name a few. That said, finding the motivation to work from the same place you accomplish other daily tasks can be tough, especially if your desk space is full of bills, laundry, and stacks of magazines. Instead of trying to focus in such an environment, follow these tips to create a private workspace that’s just right for you.
Make Your Space Comfortable
If you work from home, you may not have as much office space as you’d like. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative and make the most of what you’ve got. In fact, since you have almost complete control over every aspect of your office, why not add fun elements to make the space truly yours. So, for instance, if you love greenery, add a few plants to your work desk. If you can’t stop collecting souvenirs, place a few of your keepsakes on your desk — not only will they help liven the space, but they’ll also bring back fond memories
Install File Holders on The Wall
Binders and paperwork can be frustratingly difficult to find when you need them–especially when you work from home. That’s why it can help to stick or nail down a few file holders on the wall, where you can place all your important paperwork. Not only will this keep your desk clutter-free, but it also helps avoid spills if you like drinking and eating while working.
Put up A Few Small Shelves
Based on what you do for a living, you may need additional stow space for boxes or books. In this case, all you need to do is add a few small shelves to a nearby wall corner or assemble them right over your desk. The added bonus with shelves is that you can place your plants or diffusers on them to make your space look more visually appealing.
Once you’ve organized your workspace, ensure that you dust and clean the area regularly so it always feels inviting.
