The colours of productivity
The space you choose to work from can make or break your productivity levels. While establishing a dedicated spot to work from, consider the colors of the space. It has been scientifically proven that the colors you are surrounded by indirectly compliment your mood and hence directly complimenting your productivity levels. Keeping the color palette airy and light with tones like yellow, grey, blue, orange, etc. each hue representing: emotion, inspiration, the mind & body, etc. can help tranquil your new workspace and boost your productivity to an all-time high.
Sharp shapes sharp minds
Shapes have the potential of being the single most unique identifier and can hence influence your mind and productivity to a whole new level. Be it a bohemian style artsy chair or a classic paperweight, incorporating sharp shapes into your home office can influence your mind and always have you on your A-Game!
Light it up a notch
Poor lighting can dampen your morale, swing your mood like a pendulum and produce eye strain. It is an age-old tale that natural light is the all time winner. However, with the rise of artificial lights, diffusing ambient lights that will illuminate your work space and not working under the direct rays is the key to acing work at home with the highest levels of productivity.
#TheNewNormal boundaries
Mankind has always battled through the struggle of setting boundaries. Be it physical or mental boundaries, while working from home, the importance of the same has surged. Creating a routine and a schedule can help build a mental boundary but setting apart work and home will need more than that. A simple tape dividing the space to building a door can help increase productivity while work from home so take your pick and build that longing boundary.
Just one plant on your desk is enough to make all the difference
Studies have proven that bringing plants into your workspace can increase productivity by 20% – 45%. Improving air quality, increasing attention span, improving creativity, lowering stress levels, and stabilizing moods are all the additional benefits of turning your workspace into a green space.
Blend it up with function & style
Working from home does not translate to a cozy comfy bean bag and a pair of pajamas! As you get into your formal wear and kick start your day, masking your home-office space is also the key to let your productivity flow freely. While setting up the workspace, incorporate a set of stylish functional furniture. A piece as basic as a storage unit to your work chair, who said furniture cannot be formal and voguish whilst boosting your motivation and productivity at the same time.
Working remotely can be daunting. Take it from the experts at J. J. Poonawala and don’t just work hard but work smart by incorporating these productivity booster elements.
