Since the pandemic and with more people choosing to continue to work from home, setting up a designated workspace can help you to stay focused, productive, and organised. Here are 9 essential items to consider for setting up your home office:
Chair
You will be spending a lot of time sitting in your office chair, so it’s important to have a comfortable and supportive one.
Desk
A desk with enough surface area for your laptop, notebook and stationery with and storage space can help you stay organised and productive.
Computer & Accessories
Depending on your needs, you may need a desktop or laptop computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, mouse mat, printer, and so many other accessories!
Internet
It goes without saying that a fast and reliable internet connection is essential. If your internet connection is slow or unreliable, it can be frustrating and affect your productivity. Often a Wi-Fi booster can help if your home office is far from your router.
Office Supplies
To help you be organised and productive, you will need a variety of office supplies such as pens, paper, staplers, and sticky notes to hand. Stock up on the supplies you use regularly and keep them within easy reach.
Lighting
Good lighting is important for reducing eye strain and staying focused. Natural light is best, but if that’s not possible, consider a desk lamp or overhead light that provides enough light without being too harsh.
Storage
To keep your documents and paperwork in order, you may need files, folders, trays or storage boxes.
Plants
Research has shown that having plants in your workspace can improve air quality, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Choose low-maintenance plants that can thrive in indoor environments.
Wall Calendar or Planner
Keep track of deadlines, meetings, and other important events, you may want to use a calendar or planner if you have the wall space.
The key is to find what items are important for you to tailor your home office to meet your individual needs and budget.
