How To Set Up A Home Office In Dubai? Know The Smart Tips

What do you mean by perfect workspace? Everyone has their special corner at home where they live, love, and laugh. Similarly, the workspace should be planned in a manner that it stays exclusively for work. If you have a separate room then it should be specifically for work, no other things over there or if you don’t have a vacant room then choose some peaceful corner of the home.  Make sure the space is sufficient for computer equipment or if it is a laptop then also a desk is important. Work-life should be different from personal life- try as much as possible.

• Ensure that area is airy and well-lit
• Keep it cluttered free ensuring a healthy environment
• Don’t keep anything distracting you
• Choose the space with sockets and extension cables, but not many

You can never be productive by working from the bed or inside the blanket. No matter which corner of your home you are using, better make it in a way that is not hampering your productivity. Moreover, you stay away from pain and exertion that can happen because of the wrong position. Your working position matter a lot, some quick tips

• Avoid exposure directly to sunlight
• Avoid working from bed hampering productivity
• Take an ergonomic chair ensuring comfort
• Keep the height of the desktop suitable for neck

You always have some extra space in the office for storing your extra material at the end of the day. Make sure you make the space that let you wrap the things easily and there you can keep all your basic work things at the end of the day. This keeps the desk clean and tidy.

• Choose some inventive pouch to keep things
• Add a drawer below the working desk
• Add a little basket or little study table to keep your files
• Keep colorful files arrange important docs

Well, I have explained that proper sitting position is important but for that having proper sitting arrangement is a must. It seems so tempting that you just need to pull a chair and sit as per your convenience when working from home. But that is not a good idea until and unless you have proper back support to sit for long hours.

Make such an arrangement that it supports your neck and eyes, sit so your spine should be in a neutral position, etc. If you make a wrong choice then it is just painful! Avoid sitting in a wrong position that does not favor your back and neck.

• Take proper work desk with few drawers
• Take an ergonomic chair to support and comfort your body
• Add a cushion supporting your posture   
   

Who can sit in a dirty space? I mean how do you keep the clutter accumulated at the place where you are working. This is the most important tip that goes hand in hand with your need to keep the workspace or home office neat and clean. One of the most common downsides is that you should keep your food/snack plates, and coffee/tea mugs back in the original space. Just take out some time for yourself and get rid of the crumbs and dust of the space- 10 minutes are more than enough to clean and wipe the mess.

• Avoid gathering stacks of paper
• Do dusting the work desk daily
• Keep all the documents arranged
• Don’t leave the coffee cups and spills on the desk

Greenery is always soothing and the thing that lifts the mood. By adding a little greenery to your workspace you can make the environment healthy and soothing. A cute little potted plant is enough that will add a small green patch to your workspace. The increased level of oxygen released by that plant helps in stimulating the brain. It is also something to add freshness and brighten the look of the workspace. Plants have manifold benefits like it reduce stress, increasing productivity, reducing sickness, boosting creativity, etc.

• Keep a flowing stem of money plant
• Put a little pot with a small plant in it
• Add a fresh flower daily spreading the fragrance
   

Don’t overstress yourself when you work. You should know when you have to stop. Creating an efficient working space means you should know the working hours ensuring comfort as well. Wrap up your work at the right time and walk away from the workspace when you are done with the work. You will be burning yourself in work pressure. If you stay logged in, then you will ultimately give replies and if you log out on time then you won’t be tempted to reply. Work better and rest best.

• Log out at any time if not necessary
• Work for the important hours necessary
• Take short breaks in between to boost productivity
• Drink some coffee and tea for fresh
