Working from home always sounds so heavenly: no queuing for the coffee machine at the office and no annoying boss who looks over your shoulder every five minutes to see if you are still doing everything right. The only downside to working from home is that you have to be incredibly organized to work from home, otherwise chaos quickly ensues. Don't worry, the SB Supply Home Office guide has all the information you need!
Organization and fixed structures
Organization is incredibly important when you have to work from home. This is because the familiar structures of the work environment suddenly fall away.
A big part that contributes to organization is setting up a permanent workstation. Here it is important to avoid the cable spaghetti. Organize your desk with cable solutions like the CableDrops or the CableBox from Bluelounge. Nothing is more annoying than cables criss-crossing your desk.
Of course, you also need to make sure that the technology functions as it would in a normal workplace. This is where adapters are suited to be multi-talented. Satechi and ADAM elements are among the most appreciated brands in this industry. Read our blog posts titled 'Satechi : HDMI/ USB Adapters, Wireless Chargers and Cables' and 'ADAM Elements: Cable VGA/ HDMI Adapters' to learn more about these adapters.
When choosing an adapter, make sure it is compatible with your workstation. For example the Satechi USB-C Hub this is for all laptops with USB-C connection.
Fresh air
Go outside! It's important to keep moving and stay healthy. Take a walk during your lunch break or before you start work. Working from home eliminates the need to walk to work. Of course, it is nice to lie in your bed and sleep. But it is advisable to maintain your routine and replace the commute with a morning walk. This will get your body going which will make you much more productive throughout the workday.
Is a morning walk not possible for you? Then why not get some exercise after work? Go for a jog, for example. The Stryd Footpod is the perfect motivator for this. The Footpod actually measures your performance and your improvements over time.
The structure of your home office
The most ideal situation would be to have a dedicated room in your home or apartment to minimize distractions. So you should avoid working in your bedroom at all costs, otherwise the lure of your bed may become greater than the priority of your work! But of course, this is a choice that is up to you. Don't have a dedicated room at your disposal? Then choose the room with the least distractions. Decorate your office nicely and efficiently. You should feel comfortable in your work environment so that you enjoy working. If you work in your home office for a long time, it may be worth investing in new furniture. The Fourze D1400 Gaming Desk green / black combines timeless design with an effective cable solution.
If you only work from home for a short time, there is little point in investing in new furniture. But small things can still make a big difference. The Satechi Aluminium foldable stand is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and laptop, making a significant difference at a low cost!
The Osmo Pizza Co game
Working from home can be particularly challenging for workers with children. After all, children need a lot of attention, and simply putting them in front of the television is not a long-term solution. SB Supply therefore recommends keeping children engaged with educational games, which combine learning with a playful appeal that appeals to children. You can read why learning games are so important for kids in our blog post.
We highly recommend the Osmo Pizza Co Game.
The Osmo Pizza Co game is an educational game system that provides a completely new interaction with the iPad by combining physical play and tablet gameplay, ensuring that your child is never bored!
