Home Office; Difficulty or Comfort?
We have started to use a corner of our home as our field of work since most of us are changed working system to home-office. Although working at home is sound nice, it is very important to build our personal life and business life in a balanced way.
Although some companies or sectors are used to home office work, many companies and employees are experiencing it for the first time nowadays. With the start of the pandemic, millions of employees took over the tables at home this time. Although the idea of working at home sounds good, it is useful to make some arrangements for it. A tidy table with a suitable working area increases both our concentration and our efficiency. For this, we can create the most comfortable area as much as possible with small touches. It should not be forgotten that the productivity that comes with a regular table and mind will bring success and happiness.
How should our working environment be in home?
01I It is best to make a choice according to your profession while choosing your work area at home. People who have to use paper, pen etc in addition to computer, can use the large dining table as a work table. Sometimes a glazed balcony or a glazed terrace can offer a comfortable working environment. We must be positioned at a point where we will get the most out of daylight and get fresh air. At night, spot lighting provides comfort instead of a general illumination in the working environment.
02I The area or corner that we use as home office should be capable of saving us from home mode. An atmosphere free from details that would spoil our concentration should be constructed.
03I As we generally share our home with our family, it would be beneficial to use headphones to prevent the sounds from distracting us and prevent the music we listen from distracting them.
04I We should also consider about the image we will show during virtual meetings. Our face should be clear and we should be careful that the image that will appear behind us is simple enough not to disturb the meeting concentration.
05I We know that working in front of the screen for long hours affects especially skeletal health. Therefore, height adjustable tables are now used in the offices. Using these tables at home, we can add another function; If necessary, we can lower it further and use it as a coffee table. In this way, we can work without getting bored and healthy in our home office environment, which we shape with a desk, office chair and a small but comfortable single seat.
