Work in an office, at home or outside the home. Being comfortable and motivated are key things every employee needs. Motivation is that internal drive that causes you to decide to take action.Your motivation is influenced by biological, intellectual, social, external and emotional factors.
I have some items that I like to have around when I am working to keep me comfortable and motivated. Do you have any tips or items you like having in your work space?
Organization
Being organized will not only benefit your feng shui but will help you think clearer! One thing that is important for me, is to have my office separated from my home space, this way you get a sense of respect for the your working space, for those working at home I’d suggest using partition walls to divide yourself from your living space. If you do not work from home, make sure the office stays cleaned and organized by hiring commercial janitorial services.
Technology
Having the right technology does make a difference, things like a wireless mouse or wireless cell phone charging pad make life easier, this includes furniture as well, some furniture can definitely make your work-life easier.
Multi-Screen Workstations are the New Gold Standard for Productivity
More and more companies are understanding and harnessing the power of using multiple monitors on an employee’s desk. Be it a laptop, desktop, Chromebook, zero or thin client, taking advantage of multiple screens in a workplace has the power to amplify both productivity and workflow. In this blog post, we’ll examine a bit more of why multiple monitors improve productivity.
Nearly every study found that multiple screens are “significantly more useful” and “preferred on every measure of usability,” over their solo screen counterparts. From line text editing to error reduction to maintaining focus, the task didn’t matter—all were accomplished 16% faster and with 33% fewer errors. In fact, studies found that if employees utilize two monitors for all their tasks in a day, they can save nearly 2.5 hours in clicking and navigation times. Even employees on-the-go can create multi-screen offices in their vehicles to save time and increase their productivity. Across a company, that’s hundreds of hours a week. But where does all this efficiency come from?
Having a second or even third monitor makes it far easier to use more than one program at the same time, and reduces the time switching between screens or getting lost in a maze of open tabs. Less time spent searching through windows means fewer clicks. When emails are piling up and every second counts, cutting out clicks can be a massive time-saver. Further increasing time savings across a company, a slight delay in one essential response can magnify with others waiting in the chain delay their own tasks creating a domino effect of poor efficiency
In addition, these multi-monitor computer workstations aren’t limited to those stuck in the office but can be combined with tablets and laptops for employees who are out of the office. Having a tablet or laptop dock in an office workstation that can easily be taken to a conference or client meeting reduces transfer times and gives mobile employees more power than ever.
In order to gain these massive savings in time and leaps in productivity—a 20-30% increase in productivity was reported in one study alone—businesses must equip their employees with the right tools for the job. We believe we offer an ideal solution for a corporate office looking to harness the efficiency of using multiple monitors. Our 10” touchscreens, often a third monitor in office settings, offer more screen real estate while taking up minimal desk space. Simple in design and powered by a touchscreen, employees can park key programs like chat windows, password managers/keychains, or a pricing list on their Mimo side-screen, keeping essential information visible without searching their desktop. Another efficient example is our portable 7” slider design which allows users to take their office on the road to a client meeting, and back again without losing a second of workflow.
It’s become clear to us at Mimo Monitors that multi-monitor setups are no longer the exception, but should be new standard. We believe that expanding using multi-monitor computer workstations is the key to maximizing productivity at the office and while working on-the-go. We design our screens and displays with an office’s needs in mind, from cost, to function, to interactivity. We’re confident there’s a solution available to streamline your company’s workstations.
Décor
There nothing like having a piece of yourself or home in the office. A simple décor item can help set the tone and can also help brighten your day, choosing unique office furniture can also help your office’s decor. things like a paper weight or a piece of wall art can really spruce up your workplace. There are many furniture stores to chose from ; make sure that you select the correct one to buy all the pieces that will make your office standout. Furniture is any home decor’s staple. If you are planning to get some new home decor furniture, there are quite a lot of things to be taken into consideration. You can be overwhelmed with the selection available and get confused about the type of home decor furniture you need. You will get here of the antique clocks for your home decor.
Beverages
Having a healthy beverage on hand like water, tea, or coffee can really help with energy levels and keep you hydrated throughout the day.
For tea I really recommend trying a loose leaf like Teavanna and they even have portable mugs you can use to brew on the go.
If you are a coffee affinado treat your self to a French press coffee maker, it’s way better than Keurig!
Snacks
Having healthy snacks around is key because those 3pm snack attacks will kick in so why not be prepared with healthy options such as fresh fruit, nuts, or yogurt.
Greenery
A fresh plant
Having plants in the office have many benefits. I think that fact that they clean the air is enough of a reason to have them around.
Make up
I like to keep free samples of makeup at work for re touching. Ulta purchases made online always give free samples.
Hair
pack of pony tail holders is essential for days for want your hair out of your face.
change of clothes
I like to have a pair of leggings, a cotton, tee, and a light weight sweater on hand. I once had a early visit from aunt flow and I glad I had my leggings on hand to change into.
Aromatherpy
If you have the comfort of your own office, I strongly recommend a diffuser. Unfortunately I sit in a cube but I will reap the benefits of aromatherapy by using a bottled essential oils.
Personal comfort item
Having pics of loved ones, inspirational quotes, or places is so nice to have around,especially for those days you need a perk me up.
Comfortable seating
When you sit on top of an exercise ball, your body is constantly making small adjustments to remain balanced. In other words, you are working a large group of muscles doing so, thus gain strength in your core muscles.These core muscles connect your upper and lower body together. They also help support and protect your spine and back.
