The pandemic has confined us for a long time now, and most of us will continue to work from home in the near future. While working from home has its benefits, the line between personal life and professional life can get blurred, resulting in diminished productivity and eventually causing burnout. So, it goes without saying, when working from home, it’s beneficial to divide your work space from your personal space for a healthier work-life balance.
Creating the perfect workstation at home is a matter of choosing the best furniture and building a space that supports the right state of mind. It’s about separating your downtime from your work time, which means separating your office setup from your living area. Here are some tips to help you out:
Invest in office furniture
To build an office-like environment at home, it is important for your home workspace to be well-equipped with work-appropriate furniture such as desks, revolving office chairs with lumbar support, writing boards etc. Also, home office furniture helps with maintaining correct posture and provides proper comfort for long working hours.
When you are looking to invest in office furniture, budget always plays a big part. With CashBack offers and no-cost EMI on purchases made at select furniture stores like Damro, Home Centre, Stanmax, Evoke etc., buying furniture won’t pinch your pocket anymore.
Keep your work electronics separate
One of the best ways to ensure that your office work doesn’t come in the way of your personal time is by having a separate work phone or a separate laptop that you use just for work. This prevents you from getting work-related notifications while you’re trying to unwind. You can even consider having separate headphones for your work calls and personal calls. This will help you make a clear distinction between the two.

Create a dedicated workspace
Although working from a couch might feel comfortable, you must create a dedicated workspace that boosts productivity and efficiency. Your office space should be used purely for work so that when you enter the space, you will immediately switch into a productive mindset. One strategy is to cordon off a section of your living room or any other room in your home for office work only. Whether you choose a spare bedroom or carve out a small corner in your living room, be sure to have a separate space that allows you to focus on work with few distractions. Try to create some separation by using changes in decor or by sectioning that area with curtains or screen doors. Lighting can also set the right ambient tone in your home office setup. According to research, cooler white light is better for concentration than warm yellow lights.
