When starting your business you will be spending a lot of
time working out of your basement, garage, or home office. The problem with this is the comfort of your
own home may easily distract you.
Walking through your living room seeing your big comfortable L-sofa will
remind you of all the lazy Sundays you’ve spent watching football or hanging
out with your significant other watching a movie.
However,
since starting your business, this once relaxation haven is now HQ for only the
most productive of activities, so it is paramount you redesign a space in your
home that oozes creativity, motivation, and planning so your business takes
off.
The standing desk: Working while standing may not work for
everyone but it should keep you more alert.
Getting a raised desk where you can affectively stand straight up while
checking on your computer will help keep you focused and on your toes,
literally. I recommend this for
everyone. I can’t describe how much more
productive I am when I work while standing versus sitting. Check out this desk that took this idea to
the extreme by fusing his treadmill and his desk so he can walk while
working. Brilliant.
Windows: Choose a
room in your house that has some window access.
Not only will this improve lighting in your space but by opening the
windows you allow yourself fresh air with out having to get up and walk
outside. If you are stuck to your garage as your workspace, make sure that
lighting is optimal. This will increase
attentiveness and alertness to keep you moving through out the day.
Task/Bulletin Board:
Create a massive bulletin board.
Use this space for everything and customize it to your needs. By having important documents or
inspirational images hanging in front, and around you will help you keep your
eyes on what’s important. Keep your to
do lists here as well as a constant reminder for what you have left to do that
day or in the long run.
