Working 8 hours a day or more in the same place, is something that For some may be the most normal thing in the world, but for other newbies on the subject, it can be very stressful and even frustrating, something that has been talked about since the quarantine began and the wonderful idea of forced teleworking emerged.
The places where you spend the most time in your life should always look good to your mind and soul, since at the end of the day, they are part of most of the experiences and memories you have in your life, this is the case of your bed. , where you spend a large part of your time resting, and therefore you should invest in it, since some consider sleep as a second reality, and you should make this the best one. In the same way, you spend hours and hours during the quarantine and even before it, sitting in a reclining chair, the difference is that before at your workstation in a company, the ergonomics and the things that you could enjoy and modify were few, and they depended on your superiors or the culture of the place, however now, being comfortable and satisfied with where you work is totally your responsibility, to the point that the productivity that you are going to project in your work area depends on that.
The way in which you organize your home office must be totally to your liking, and no one but you should decide on it, however there are some key points that will help you and it will depend on you how you accommodate them to your liking:
- A window or illuminated area: Being able to distract the view with something that is not electronic, and being able to look at the sky, is something that is not so expensive, however it is a luxury for many, and sometimes we do not know it, well that accommodating your work table with your back to a window or a lighted area overlooking a landscape, city or garden is an excellent way to increase your creativity and relax in moments when stress is about to consume you.
- Ergonomic peripherals: For some, any mouse or keyboard is good, as long as it does what it needs to do, and that's fine, however it is always a good idea to have a higher quality mouse and keyboard available. To avoid hand problems and even increase productivity, because there are times when we need to do many things at the same time, we would need a mouse that can make many clicks per second, and a good keyboard that does not fail us at the time to write.
- The most comfortable chair that your body can have: Yes, not the most expensive or the best brand, but the one that gives your body the most softness and rest and that understands the movements that your spine makes. It is very important that when you go to sit down to start working and after each break, you see that chair as a friend, as a soft place, worth having you rest in it, since believe me, that would help psychological fatigue. from sitting there for hours.
- Anything that generates creativity: From a small plant, to a photo with someone you love, decorating your work table with something that you really like, or that catches your attention is really something that can change your perspective in a time where you need more ideas. Many people involve Funkos, RGB lamps, strange clocks, or whatever you can fix your eyes on, whenever you want to distract yourself from work, and it is not related to a screen in front of you.
More than the place where we sit to work 8 hours a day, we have to see our work table as a battle station, like the cockpit of an airplane, like the center of a spaceship, where we would have everything necessary to complete our task. Having everything at hand should be essential, that we can reach out and grab our bottle of water, that we can dim the lights near us, that the keyboard and mouse are as close as possible, that the phone is charged on the same table, If we achieve that, productivity will increase and the time we spend getting up or making certain movements will save us from a few minutes to hours.
Be that as it may, there is no perfect desk, and neither is better than the other, the one that makes you feel comfortable, and makes you feel yours, is the one you must work on to become worthy of your admiration, so that it is a pleasure to be able to sit in that place day by day.
