It is very convenient to work from home: you do not need to spend time on the road and money on renting an office. However, lying on the couch with a laptop, it is difficult, without distraction, to complete the required amount of work. There is a way out – equip a full-fledged workplace in your apartment.
Not everyone can afford to allocate a separate room as an office. But if you wish, you can work with the existing room and equip yourself with a comfortable place that will suit you and will not bother your family.
Psychologists do not recommend working and resting in one place: it is very difficult to relax in the evening and, trying to fall asleep or basking in the arms of a loved one, do not return mentally to work. However, sometimes there may be no other option – for example, if you live in a one-room apartment. Before starting to organize the workplace, divide the room into zones. You can draw the border using different color schemes, for example, making the bedroom itself in pastel colors and painting the wall next to your workplace in bright yellow. It is also permissible to use screens or curtains to separate the table with the laptop from the bed. Allocate yourself a bedside table, wardrobe or shelf where you will only store the things that you need for work: various materials, manuals, printouts. Documents and your personal belongings – creams, clothing, fiction – should not mix.
If space is limited, use a shelf with a hinged table top. After completing the working day, you can clean your place and not think about work until tomorrow
A very comfortable workplace can be arranged on your own balcony. Of course, first you have to insulate this room and install double-glazed windows that will not allow sounds from the street to distract you from your work, and then you can arrange it. In the decor, it is better to prefer light colors that will set you up for a working atmosphere. Install a narrow table, next to it, hang shelves on the wall where you can place the things you need. Although there is enough light on the balcony during the day, do not forget to install an additional light source, because sometimes you may need to sit up at work until dark.
Do not arrange a seating area on the balcony, do not put a table and comfortable chairs there: the temptation to relax will be great
If your apartment has a pantry and you cannot find a use for it, make your office in it. The basic rule is to use as much vertical surface as possible. Hang several rows of shelves where you can store working documents, choose a table with drawers that will not interfere with your sitting, but will be functional. Calendars and stickers can be hung on the inside of the door. At the end of the working day, you can simply close the doors of your impromptu office, and your apartment will again turn into a place where you rest.
