5 Ways of
Improving Productivity in Your Home Office
It’s much easier to be lazy during work hours while
you’re home,
than surrounded by busy co workers, isn’t it? You’re in
the comfort of your own home,
you’re your own boss, there’s no one pushing you to meet
your deadlines…
If you really allow yourself this kind of freedom, your
business, no matter what kind it is,
will fail before you even started making
some good money. In order to prevent all this,
you should go through the next five tips, and do your
best to apply them. So, check them out!
Do the Hardest
Task First
You have probably heard about the “eating the frog”
theory.
If you do the most complicated tasks first, without
delaying them, you’ll be able to arrange
the rest of your working hours casually, and solve one
problem set in front of you slowly,
with no pressure whatsoever. It can be quite difficult to
make yourself set your mind
on those difficult tasks in front of you first thing in
the morning, but with some determination, you’ll adopt that habit before you
know it, and your productivity will increase significantly.
Trigger Productive
Mode
This one is a bit tricky, because it’s completely
individual. During your college years,
you have probably discovered the conditions that help you
learn better,
so you should definitely apply them in order to increase
productivity in your home office. However, if those conditions simply don’t
work for you anymore,
you should try out a couple of new things, so you can
find the one that works best for you.
For example, if you’re competitive, you should try to
trigger your productive mode
by having an imaginary race with your deadlines, and
always tend to beat your high scores.
On the other hand, you may be in a rut because you fell
into some kind of routine,
which you can easily get out of by introducing your
office space to a couple of small irrelevant changes. Some people can focus
better and work harder when they are exposed to
just the right amount of
background distractions, so you should probably try this, as well.
There’s one common mistake a lot of people make,
and they consider it to be a highly productive method –
multitasking.
It’s a scientific fact that you only do less by
multitasking,
so this is one habit you definitely need to get rid of.
Music Helps Brain
Work
Whether you’re surrounded with your family in your home
office or not,
music can be quite helpful when it comes to improving
productivity.
An experiment showed that background music in major cords
can help a lot
when it comes to repetitive tasks, but also when you need
to distract yourself from the noise around you, no matter if it’s in the actual
office or the improvised one in your home.
Keep Sticky Notes
Around
You never know when your inspiration may strike, so you
should definitely need
some type of diary. If that’s too much for you, and if
it’ll take too much of your time,
having sticky notes around you will definitely do the
trick, no matter if they are on your computer desktop or your actual desktop.
Write down every idea that comes to your mind, even if you consider it sounds
silly or dull, and elaborate its stages whenever you find enough time.
Keep Your Space
Clean
Your working space needs to be absolutely clutter free,
especially if all you need for you work
is your computer. Clutter around you will slow you down,
and make it difficult for you
to increase your productivity, so everything you don’t
use must go. You should replace those excess items with a desk lamp which will
improve lighting in your room, and a plant or two,
which will affect your mind positively and cause the
feeling of calmness.
In the end, I’d like to add one more thing – pay
attention to your nutrition,
and tend to eat healthy, because one of the preconditions
of improving productivity in general
is having enough energy. I hope you’ll find my suggestion
insightful,
and if you do apply any of them, I’d really like you to
let me know how it goes!
