Working from home is tempting for both company employees and those who have opted for freelancing activities.

The advantages are obvious: time-saving, familiar and quiet environment, the possibility to organize your space exactly as you want, and avoiding the congestion specific to the beginning and end hours of the program.

However, the above advantages can be easily undermined by a lack of motivation and determination. But, if you manage to maintain your motivation and determination every day, working from home may be right for you.

What do you have in your home office:

The first step, of course, is the office itself. Pay special attention to it, most of the work will be done in the office.

It must be qualitative, solid, and according to your height. Before purchase, measure the distance from the floor to the counter to ensure that the height allows you to work comfortably.

Remember that a desk that is too low or too high will force you to work in awkward and incorrect positions that, over time, can damage your spine.

It is ideal for the office chair not to make too many compromises. The standard equipment must not lack height adjustment, ergonomic lumbar support, quality upholstery material, and durable rollers.

The coffee cup is the piece of resistance. It should be handy for both busy and busy days.

If you travel often, a 13-inch laptop is perfect. Currently, the 13-inch laptop is no longer a poor relative in the specifications of the 15-inch laptop, being perfectly capable of providing the same computing power similar to a high-diagonal laptop.

For rare trips and resource-intensive tasks, we still recommend a 15-inch laptop.

If you do not have to print and copy very large quantities of documents, we recommend purchasing a multifunctional printer.

This way you can find a printer, a scanner, and a copier in one device. The reduced print speed is offset by the small space occupied and the low power consumption.

It's no joke with confidential documents! To protect your work and confidential data, a document shredder is a must. By destroying confidential documents that you no longer need, your and your partners' data is safe.

Even if you work from home, organizing documents will save you time. precious. By keeping all the documents organized in files and bookshelves, your productivity will increase and you will have a model office, only good to post on Instagram!

Write down all the information, especially the "small" one. They are the easiest to forget and the hardest to remember. An adhesive note will save you a lot of hassle if you place it in a visible place to remind you of an email or a date.

Even if you use a smartphone that includes calendar functions, chances are you'll see the notification and still forget after a few minutes of that task. So, the diary and sticky notes, which do not let you forget.

Depending on your preferences and the decoration of the room, a whiteboard or a corkboard will help you to organize your projects better.

Whether you are working on creating a flow of procedures, a campaign or you want to follow the evolution of your project, using a whiteboard or a corkboard will allow you a strategic image that can inspire you with new ideas!
