5 tips to create a productive home workspace
ONE of the big topics of conversation that I have been having amongst fellow entrepreneurs lately is a discussion around workspaces. We have spoken at length about the various locations where people go to work and be productive. Some love the comfort of their homes and others like to work in coffee shops, co-working spaces, outside in nature, and more.
What I thought interesting was that those who love to work from home have spoken about how they have curated their home spaces for maximum productivity and relaxation. Those who don’t like working from home often cite that they are least productive at home, due to the lack of workspace or other reasons surrounding the environment.
When I was putting together my home office/studio, I remember going through hours of videos on Youtube on how to create the best home office space and what always amazed me was the attention to detail. My space is a work in progress but no place allows my creativity to flow and get things done like my space at home.
I am not an expert at creating a beautiful and productive space, which is why this week I decided to reach out to someone who specialises in this exact area. Meet Maya-marie Taitt, the owner of Better Spaces by Maya-marie.
Better Spaces by MayaMarie aims to create functional and aesthetically beautiful spaces working with people from all walks of life and bringing a home organisation business to our twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago.
I asked Maya to give us five tips to create a productive home space and she delivered. Here are her five tips.
1) Designate a Home Space: This is going to allow you to be able to focus and maximise your productivity. When we work from home, we kind of just work from our bed, from the kitchen, from the living room, and we don’t have a designated spot to work in. This affects us being able to set a routine and get into work mode. This also allows you to set boundaries so that when people know you are in this space working not to disturb you. Designating your space allows you to create separation at home and lock in what you need to get done.
