Increase work productivity with these simple ideas!

Many researchers report that the environment you work in will impact your productivity and ability to focus. Whether you have a home office or have a company office, it’s essential to design your space for ultimate efficiency. Here are a few tips and tricks!

Make sure to have good light

An overlooked, yet important part of a well designed office space is the lighting. Terrible lighting can cause a lot of downsides and that affect your productivity. Eyestrain, irritability, fatigue and headaches are all caused by bad lightning.

It’s difficult to have a lot of control over the lighting situation in the office, especially when working in a common building for a company. Some offices are filled with windows that bring in a ton of natural light, which is great! For others, it may feel dark and depressing! Luckily, there are many lighting devices such as natural light bulbs or light therapy that will help create a well lit office! These devices will be helpful in order to feel your best and effective while avoiding eyestrain and headaches!

Colours are essential

Why does each person have a favourite colour they gravitated towards? Colours are very powerful, they affect the brain function and have a great effect on moods! To boost your productivity in the office, add colours that make you happy and that inspire you. This can easily be done by bringing items such as colourful inspirational quotes, beautiful paintings that remind you of a happy place, and bring items that remind you of success and so on. Take it a step further by painting your office walls with calming and serene colours. Blue is a very popular choice, we love pastel shades of blue that remind us of the sky!

Less Clutter, More Focus

Regardless of what space we are in, clutter never helps when we try focusing on our work and get things done. We personally like to spend the first 15 minutes of our work day to clean the space around us. Cleaning puts us in a good mindset to get organized and that work is about to start! It’s natural for things to get messy as the day goes on, we are working hard after all!

Desk and Chair

Due to sitting down for most of the shift, it’s essential to find a comfortable office chair and desk! Take a look at our fine handcrafted office furniture pieces:

Take a walk + Outdoor visuals

Another great idea to increase productivity is to bring a few nature elements indoors, such as beautiful paintings of the outdoors. Also, add a picture of the outdoors as your screensaver and desktop wallpaper. If the weather permits, enjoy your breaks outside and take a quick walk to loosen up those muscles! Making the time to change sceneries and moving will definitely make it easier to focus and be productive

No Noise, No Distractions

The noise around us can be a big distraction, it can also affect our stress levels and make it difficult to be effective. A very simple solution is to purchase a pair of noise cancelling headphones! We also love having classical music playing while working, it’s very calming and keeps us focused!

Scents!

The smells in your office is another element that will affect your productivity, we actually have an article dedicated to scents alone. The article gives great advice on having a diffuser in the office and ideas for essential oil blends. To read more about cleansing the air in your office, click here.
