With the shift in working patterns and styles for many over the past year and a half, the concept of working from home has now become something of the norm for office workers up and down the country. And although companies are starting to open up their offices to all employees once again, you may be among those who are seeking a hybrid working pattern, with a few days spent working at home blended with some office days.
After the initial shock of shifting operations to your home, many have realised that there are many benefits to combining at home working with a professional office environment. If you have decided that a new way of working is essential for your company, or perhaps the pandemic has encouraged you to start up your own company, which you are running from your home, a more permanent set-up is surely the best thing for you.
Take a look at all the essentials you need for a productive working space at home.
Water Bottle
Having a water bottle near your desk can help you stay hydrated and focused throughout your workday. Make sure to purchase a leak-proof bottle to prevent spills on your workspace or computer.
Coffee Mug
If you need an energy boost, have a cup of coffee or tea nearby. Consider keeping a coffee pot or tea in your home office so you can have quick access whenever you need a boost of productivity.
Notepad
While you can always take notes on your computer or laptop, it’s important to have a notepad nearby to quickly write down notes as you think of them.
Writing Utensils
If you’re going to have a notepad, you need the right writing utensils such as a set of pens or pencils. Make sure to choose ones that feel comfortable in your hand and as you write. You can also purchase highlighters to help you emphasise certain parts of notes you take or any portions of important work documents.
Planner
Everything looks better personalised and with Photobook, you can personalise a planner to plan your workday and keep you on track with all the Zoom calls.
Calendar
Having a calendar can help with your organisation and time management. A desk calendar allows you to keep track of your various appointments and deadlines.
Wall Prints
If you have a more welcoming space to work in, you’re more likely to look forward to heading there to work every time you need to get the hours in. Make your home office personal, comfortable, cosy and stylish by hanging art on the wall.
