When the coronavirus first began, no one anticipated a global pandemic. Additionally, nobody expected working from home would become a reality for so many people. And if all that wasn’t enough, no one thought remote work would last for as long as it has. After all this time, a lot of people are still trying to figure out the best home office setup for their workdays. While everyone’s needs are different, there are some key factors in a work from home office setup. If you’d like to learn more, we put together some recommendations below.
Maintain a clean and organized workspace
Whether you want to admit it or not, a cluttered workspace stresses everyone out, and being at home makes being cluttered much easier. You don’t have to maintain a clean workspace because your boss isn’t going to walk by. However, if your workspace is messy and unorganized, your work from home experience will be more stressful, and you’ll see a decrease in productivity.
Keep ergonomics in mind
While some of you probably have a home office, the Coronavirus forced a lot of people to develop a makeshift office somewhere in their home. That office space could be your dining room table or your couch; either way, your home probably isn’t equipped with an ergonomic setup to the extent that your office was. Every workspace needs a quality chair and desk because it’ll help you maintain good posture. Proper posture not only helps your overall health, but it will also make you more productive because you’ll be comfortable.
Improve your internet connection
Your home internet has never been more important, and while there are several things you can do to try to improve your connection, some methods are better than others. To get the most reliable internet connection, consider connecting directly to your router with an Ethernet cable. Using a wired connection significantly reduces the chance of radio frequency interference. In other words, connecting with an Ethernet cable will offer faster speeds and lower latency.
Most modern routers can support a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable, but you never want less than a Cat5e grade cable. Now we recognize that some of you don’t have a router right next to your workspace, so you might need a 100-ft. Cat6 Ethernet cable; we’ve got you covered.
