Whether you’re working at the office or at home, your work environment is important. With people now doing more of their work from home, the home office is more important than ever. Here are some tips from Savo to help you work better and more comfortably from home.
Ideally, set aside a dedicated workspace at home. Even though sitting with your laptop in a cosy armchair or on the sofa may seem comfortable, they’re not designed as workspace furniture. Set aside a space with a chair properly suited for work. If possible, avoid working from a bedroom, as the room is intended for rest and recuperation. Ideally, choose a quiet room where you will not be disturbed by outdoor noise or other nuisance.
It can be a good idea to shift working posture often and switch between sitting and standing while working in order to avoid stiffness and strains that may lead to pain. A height-adjustable desk makes it easy to switch between sitting and standing. Take regular breaks and preferably walks to get invigorating fresh air. Standing up and stretching from time to time is sometimes enough.
Naturally, ventilation at home should always be good, but poor quality air can be especially noticeable as we spend more time at home doing highly focused work. Good quality air at home helps you avoid tiredness and headaches during your workday.
Whether your room is designed for work or you’re changing your workplace, the lighting has to be good in order to reduce fatigue and eye strain. By all means choose a room with windows for natural light, but avoid sitting with direct sunlight on your computer screen.
Schedule specific times for starting and stopping work. Also, schedule times for lunch and coffee breaks and stick to them. This makes it easier to plan and carry out your daily tasks and avoid working late at night.
Choose your chair to suit the space; is it a confined space or a large office? Savo offers a number of chairs suitable for working from home.
