How To Create a Productive Home Office

Around 22% of Americans work from home with many others working in a hybrid role.  Working from home offers flexibility and comfort, but it can also present some challenges.  It’s easy to get distracted from work tasks when you see dishes to clean, laundry to do, plants to water, or dogs to walk. One key to successfully working from home in a townhome in New Freedom, PA townhome is to set up a dedicated workspace that makes “going to work” easier.

Sure, you may be able to work from your kitchen table or couch, but you’ll likely be more productive if you have a designated workspace that is separate from your living space.  This will help you to mentally transition to work mode.  Invest in ergonomic furniture for comfort, ensure you have sufficient lighting, and find organizational accessories that keep any needed tools or supplies easy to access.

Another tip for working from home is to establish a routine.  Set a schedule and take regular breaks just like you would in an office.  It may be tempting to work throughout the day to finish early, but brief breaks can actually help you to recharge and be more productive.  The Pomodoro Technique may be an effective way to help manage your time.

Minimize distractions by turning off phone notifications and letting family or roommates know what your working hours will be.

And of course, review your companys remote work policies and utilize company communication tools to ensure you are staying on task and meeting expectations while having a productive and enjoyable work from home experience.
