Home Office Essentials
Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, working from home has become more common for almost everyone. However, your home may not seem like a place of work, but rather a place of relaxation. There are ways to make working from home more efficient and productive whether you are working from a desk, your bed or one of our amenity spaces.
Our Amenity Spaces: The amenity spaces are a perfect place to escape your apartment to get some work done or join a Zoom meeting. Not only are the spaces atheistically pleasing to work in, but they have a wide variety of appliances for your us, including a full kitchen, coffee bar and Wi-Fi.
Standing Adjustable Desks: These desks have become increasingly popular since the pandemic started. They have many benefits to both your productivity and health. Standing more often throughout the day can lower risk of weight gain, heart disease and back pain; prevent high blood sugar levels; and improving mood, energy, and productivity. If all of these benefits weren’t enough, they are about the same price as a regular desk, making them easily affordable and an amazing alternative.
Laptop Stand/Lap Desk: If your computer sits on a flat surface with no place for the heat under your computer fan to go, then your computer tends to overheat, and starts to lag and freeze. This can decrease your productivity. A laptop stand or lap desk will give the computer some ventilation and reduce the risk of overheating. Your computer is raised to your eye level, so you will no longer have to look down at the computer all day. This will help reduce neck and head pain.
Headphones: If you have noisy pets, roommates, or children; or if you have a hard time focusing this might be your lifesaver! By wearing headphones, you can focus with minimal distractions. Lofi beats can help you stay focused and on track too! These can also be used anywhere such as at home, in the office, or in one of the many amenities spaces that there are to offer!
Coffee Mug Warmer: Coffee mug warmers are another product that has been gaining attention since the pandemic started. If you are in back-to-back meetings and are unable to reheat your coffee, this is the perfect investment. This product sits on your desk, taking up minimal space, and comes with both a coffee mug and a plate to set it on. The coffee mug is designed to keep your coffee warm for as long as needed, however, if it gets colder throughout the morning, the plate can be warmed and will heat up the coffee mug, keeping your beverage at the perfect temperature all morning!
Green Plants: Having plants in your home will improve the atmosphere and overall environment of your space. They have been known to improve home office productivity, reduce fatigue, boost your healing and pain tolerance and lower your stress levels. These benefits can be beneficial far past your working hours, this can help shape your mood for the whole day, not just the 9am-5pm work day.
Working from home does not have to feel like a burden, or an intrusion on your relaxing space. If you have a spare area in your home to dedicate to work and focus, this will not take away the relaxing vibe and feelings about the other spaces in your apartment. This way you can go instantly from your workspace to a nice relaxing nap, without the commute to work!
