How to better manage your time and work space

(and relieve yourself of

unnecessary stress)

Working Remotely

Working remotely means that you have the advantage of being in complete control of your work space

In doing so, the following should be kept in mind

By sectioning off a specific area for pure work-related purposes, you body and mind recognises when it is expected to concentrate and apply mind to matter.

Temperature control is important; working in a space that is too hot makes you drowsy, while working in a space that is too cold makes you uncomfortable and causes you to lose focus.

Ensuring that your work space is equipped with proper lighting and ventilation keeps your mind fresh and alert and doesn’t cause unnecessary strain on your eyes.

To guard against interruptions or distractions, develop habits such as placing

your cellphone out of sight, not facing your desk to a

window and removing any distracting materials from

your desk.

Position your desk and chair comfortable; you might need to work for long periods of time!

Office-bound work

In this instance, it’s more difficult to personalize or rearrange your work environment. But there is hope!

Declutter your desk; a cluttered work space oftentimes delays

your productivity and prevents you from thinking clearly about

your goals.

Always have water or something to drink at hand. Taking regular sips during your daily duties allows oxygen to make its way to your brain and keeps your mind fresh and alert.

Bring your personally to the table; literally! By placing recognisable or meaningful ornaments

or materials on your desk, you feel more at ease and acquaint with

your work environment.

An environment fitting to work demands and needs plays a vital role in ensuring that you deliver a quality and innovative work product.
