Here’s Exactly What You Need to Be Successful Working from Home

Dedicated workspace

Let’s start with the basics: It’s far more challenging to be efficient, focused, or creative without a dedicated workspace. Setting up shop in your bedroom, at your kitchen table, or on the couch allows for unwelcome distractions. Now that more people than ever are being advised to work from home, it might be a good idea to create a good workspace for yourself. “Ideally, you can designate a room with a door as your office so that you can have privacy when working, but also escape from work when it is time to be home with family,” says Liz Toombs, a Certified Interior Decorator and president of PDR Interiors. “If a room and/or door are not feasible, then carve out a corner of a space in your home to be your work area. The idea behind a dedicated workspace is to create boundaries between work and home life that can be respected. It’s not healthy to have work bleed into personal time or vice versa.”
