Productive Work No Matter the Place

Get to know some tips on how to keep productivity up even if your place of work changes.

Technological improvements have brought many changes in society, especially in how we live our lives, including how and where we work. Instead of a traditional office, people can now choose to work in their preferred space – it can be a café, a co-working space, or even at home as long as they can communicate with clients and with the rest of their team.

But if you are someone who is used to working in the office, and are suddenly required to work remotely, you are probably worried about how to stay productive in a new space. Here are some of our tips on how to stay on track to finish your tasks.

Feel that you own any new space by adding personal touches into it. Putting up some pictures and items that you love is one way to feel comfortable. Also, why not try having green plants around? They are said to relax the eyes and give a greater peace of mind.

You can always create your own space in your mind by separating yourself from potential distractions using earphones with excellent noise-cancelling features. Also try listening to natural sounds or classical music to help your breathing and relax your mind.

Having quick breaks after a long period of focused work will help replenish your energy and refresh the mind. Simple exercises during those breaks would also be great. Try doing some jumps and shakes, walking up and down the stairs, or just simply stretch your arms and legs.

Certain foods, especially those that are rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, are said to help boost concentration. Mix berries into smoothies for breakfast, steam some salmon for lunch, or have some nutty bread as a snack. They will give you not just the energy you need for the day, but will also fuel your brain to work well.

Whether you work at home, in the office, or a work café, we hope that our tips can help the new you stay productive no matter the place.
