Creating a better working space
Have you ever felt that your ‘home office’ or study is ‘cluttered’?
Creating the right space for ’working from home’ is essential, as it affects the way you feel about work, as well as the time it takes to find documents and complete your tasks. In this update we focus on ways of creating space.
How would you rate your working space?
Here are some questions to ask yourself about space.
- Is your space easy to work in? Does it motivate you?
- Do you have piles of paper
- Is your space easy to work in — does it motivate you?
- Do you have piles of paper, books or gadgets on the floor or on chairs?
- Can you find the things you need quickly?
- Can you concentrate — with no distractions?

Create more desk spaceThere is a place for everything ... and it probably isn’t the desk. So offload everything you are not working on into compartments or ‘surround desk’ storage.
Use clever storage
Wall and mobile storage can be a great way to store small items.
Think ahead
Isn’t it funny how there never seems to be enough storage? We recommend thinking about all your needs and taking a comprehensive approach to storage, rather than adding bits and pieces after it has become too ‘cramped’.
Store vertically
To help create space we suggest storing your papers, magazines and gadgets vertically. In drawers, compartments, and on shelves. As high as you can reach.
File it
Which costs more — your time or a filing cabinet? A good filing system will save you time, space and stress.
