1. HOW TO SET-UP YOUR HOME OFFICE

2. Are you looking to work from home? Setting up a workspace
at home is essential if you are thinking of working from home.
You can work out of your living space, but there are a lot of
things that would interfere with your job. Home office space
reduces distractions and disturbances that usually occur while
working in your living space. Home office space also gives you
a general office feel while you work. To be productive &
efficient while working from home, you need to set up an
office in the right environment to get the job done.

3. COMFORTABLE
The most important thing while setting up an office is the level of
comfort of your space. Few factors determine the comfort of a
workspace – The Chair & Desk, Atmosphere in the room,
Ventilation, Organized, etc. Comfort level can make or break your
new office. An uncomfortable workspace makes you not want to
work there; hence, you won’t be able to get the job done. Choose
an open space with good ventilation instead of a tight, cramped up
home office space. Make sure the office equipment and the
surroundings are comfortable so you can work with ease.

4. PRIVACY
Working in a quiet environment with minimal movement in your
surroundings is crucial in a remote workspace. Too much of noise,
movement around your workspace can be disturbing and leads to
frequent distraction. Lower noise levels, fewer interruptions reduce
distraction and makes you concentrate on your work with
undivided attention. For remote workers who deal with regular
meetings or a job that requires you to be on the phone, you would
need a quiet place with no external noises. Soundproofing your
room will help if you are unable to avoid external sounds.

5. LIGHTING
Lighting plays a big part in any workspace. Good lighting enhances
the mood in the room and makes your workspace full of life.
Unbalanced lighting would make your workspace dull and lifeless.
Natural light is way better than artificial light. Natural daylight is
balanced evenly, so it is preferred over the artificial light since it is
not as versatile as natural light. Having few windows in your office
space will help out with your lighting during the day.

6. WORKSPACE & LIVING SPACE
Separate your workspace from your living space. Keeping them
different would benefit you as a remote worker since it will keep
you focused, efficient and productive. When you work in your
living space, you are prone to distractions and are less productive.
Working from your living space can also make you too comfortable
and less efficient. A dedicated office space would get you feel at
work. Use your living space as a relaxation area during a work
break or after work.

7. OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Once you’ve found the right space to set up home office, next you
need the right office equipment to fill the space. Tables, Chairs,
Lamps, Shelves, Accessories, etc. are the essential office
equipment required to set up home office. Make sure all the
equipment you add to your space is comfortable and serves your
purpose. Depending the size of your workspace, add the office
equipment. Don’t overfill the workspace equipment because it will
feel very cramped up. Remove all the equipment that is not in use
out of your space.

8. TECH EQUIPMENT
The main reason you have the option to work from home is because you
have the required tech equipment needed to work from home. There is
no remote working option with no tech equipment. Laptops/Computers,
Hard Drives, Phone, Network Router, High-Speed Wired or Wireless
Internet, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), Printers, etc. is all you
need to get started. Employers would like to get their work done
without any technical difficulties, so speed and efficiency of your tech
equipment play a vital role in your office. It is also wise to have a
backup laptop and an internet connection. In case you have a technical
issue at the wrong time, this would come in very handy.

9. STORAGE SPACE
Finally, set up a storage rack for all your papers, files, books, etc.
Make the storage area easily accessible from your desk so it is
quick and easily reachable. Storage is only needed for people who
require to maintain paperwork or needs space for books, files, etc.
Since nowadays all files documents, etc. are stored digitally, so this
is not applicable to everyone.
