by Malini Somra Blogger

Whether you work at home with your own business or as a freelancer, you work remotely for your employer, or you just use your home office for work you take home from a conventional workplace, you deserve to invest in your home office. Doing so will help to improve your productivity and make you a long-term success.

Hiring and HR Trends 2019

Maybe you should make improving your home office one of your new year’s resolutions this year! Below are some easy steps you should consider taking to make your home office the best it can be and this coming year your most productive yet.


Improve the Ergonomics of Your Workstation

As busy professionals, we might ignore how important home office ergonomics are in our well-being and productivity. If you work at home, home office ergonomics are an even more pressing concern. Do your research to find out about ergonomic chairs. You could also look into height adjustable desks.


Creating a truly ergonomic home office will help to reduce back strain and keep you healthier and happier (as well as much more productive). This free ergonomic resource can help you get started.


Purchase and Use an Ergonomic Keyboard

An ergonomic keyboard will help to prevent or reduce strain caused by repetitive use. You’ll find that your wrists and forearms have more support. If the model of keyboard you choose has a split-keyset, you might find this gives you greater flexibility. If you’re worried about developing hand cramps or even carpal tunnel syndrome, an ergonomic keyboard is your friend. You’ll be happy you purchased it the next time you work a 12-hour day with lots of typing!


Think About Adding a Whiteboard

Have you considered putting a whiteboard in your home office? Don’t underestimate just how useful it could be. Writing on a whiteboard can help you sort out your ideas and solve problems. It is also great if you are hosting a meeting of any kind. What better way to record and compile ideas and insights?  


Sometimes the most basic of upgrades can make the biggest difference in your productivity and growth, and a reasonable expense like adding a large whiteboard to brainstorm or keep track of your projects could pay off big time.


Treat Yourself to an Upgraded Desk Lamp

The science of lighting in offices is well documented, and the type of light you choose can have an impact on your mood and your productivity.

If productivity and focus are paramount, invest in lighting above 4000 Kelvin in the daylight spectrum. If you wish to create a relaxed, inviting environment where you can be more creative, choose lighting that is 3000 Kelvin or lower.


Add Some Portable Speakers

Portable speakers aren’t the first items that usually come to mind when one thinks about home offices, but you’ll appreciate having this bit of tech when you feel like having the radio or other sources of music playing in the background as you work. This can help with your productivity and well-being.


As we can see here, there are many different ways you can upgrade your home office to make yourself more productive this coming year. Don’t be afraid to invest in you.
