Working from home can be very challenging. There are countless distractions and it is extremely hard to concentrate. There are doorbells, cravings, frequent toilet breaks, kids running around etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most distractions don’t even occur to us when we are sitting at our desk in a “regular” office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may also find ourselves unable to separate work life and our personal life. Working hours become a blur and we end up working in bed in our pyjamas all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Dedicated Workspace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason we don’t get constantly distracted in the office is because we have a dedicated workspace where our minds are tuned to work. We see our desk, office chair, files, folders, laptop etc. and we automatically work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to identify a space in your home which will double up as your office. Try to avoid the bedroom or kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should have a desk. It should have enough space for all your files and folders. Everything you need should be nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting plays a very important role. See that your space is well lit with a combination of natural and artificial light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a separate room that you can convert into your home office, that would be excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have added several Home Office Desks to my Amazon Page<\/a>. I’m currently using one from IKEA. It was very easy to assemble and extremely high-quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve added several categories like – Home Office Essentials, Snacks (Nothing is complete without snacks!), Printers, Mobiles, Pen Drives, Kitchen and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
