Tips For A Modern Work From Home Life

Now that the global health emergency due to the pandemic has been declared over and more are going back to the office. But certainly not all of them. Companies around the world have realised that Working From Home is possible. If we think about it, it does make sense that we should continue it to some degree and worry about more important things instead.

As a company or individual, we have been given the opportunity to work remotely. You should consider investing on what are the essentials to be productive and comfortable as much as possible. To become more efficient you need to take a look at the Physical and Physiological necessities.

Here are some areas of concern that we should look into.

• A decent computer setup is always beneficial. Whether your setup involves a desktop computer or a laptop, it needs to be well-equipped in terms of specs or power to handle what software you might need. 
• Next are the peripherals that everyone should have. These are the Mouse and Keyboard. While a laptop might have a mousepad and built-in keyboard. We cannot deny that there will be Mouse and Keyboard that will outclass them in terms of comfort and performance.
• Chairs and tables are usually the ones that get overlooked. An ergonomic chair does wonders for those that want to keep their posture healthy (synonym for this or other term). There are even tables that allow you to work while standing. 
• Other items like Headset, Speaker, Webcam, Internet cable, backup power and others are of equal importance.
• Internet Connection. Investing in a good Internet Service Provider. Poor service providers will help you lose your mind. A jittery or lagging connection will stress you out quickly, specially when you are in a zoom meeting communicating with a client. You should check which internet providers available to you offer high reliability instead of only checking for speed.
• Softwares. There are various free softwares available over the internet. These are generally well equipped for your needs. But if by any chance that your situation requires you to use specific applications whether paid or free these softwares must be checked and vouched for.
• Mind. “A Mind is a terrible thing to waste”. Even if your work involves little usage of thinking time. Consider some exercise to keep active. Puzzles, Chess, or other activities will keep the engine (Mind) running.
• Soul. Peace within oneself is something we create. The world is filled with problems, keep calm and be patient. Think things through. Remember that “When Emotions Are High, Intelligence Is Low”. Don’t let your feelings get the best of you and keep a good balance of work and personal.
• Body. Keeping your Body healthy is necessary. If it goes down, no matter how strong the mind and soul is you won’t be able to do anything. Practising a healthy lifestyle can be challenging, but as long as you keep your focus, it will eventually bear fruit.
