Revisit those school memories when you made month long time tables before the approaching exams; it’s a different thing that you never followed them. Take a leaf out of old school and make a time schedule for your daily activities equally dividing office work and other duties. Choose the perfect time zone when the house is at peace and all your chores have been attended to. Scribble it on a stick note or make a memo on your phone; whatever you do better FOLLOW it!

That’s My Spot!

Go all Sheldon Cooper on your family members and declare your spot! Turn one secluded corner of your house into a makeshift office, one that resembles an office like cubicle. Do not sit with your laptop on the couch while the TV is blaring or the dining table while munching on evening snacks. You need not order the latest office equipment for that feel, one table and chair with a dash of silence is more than enough to begin work.

Suit Up!

Change out of those Santa print pajamas into something decent enough to pass off as casual clothes. I’m not asking you to be Barney Stinson and wear tailored suits even if you are working from home but at least look presentable enough to pass off as working! Your mind is conditioned to connect pajamas with sleep and rest, which plays major hindrance when one is working. Take a lovely refreshing shower, dress well and catch up with that schedule you made.

Man is a social animal

When working from home you miss out on interacting with colleagues and office mates that work close by. While social media platforms keep you updated with each one that personal touch is missing. To avoid going crazy there are a number of things you can take up. Join courses that specialize in your field, learn a foreign language, attend festivals and workshops and if you are the more creative type, help organize one of these. If you are working from home it doesn’t mean you should stay home all day!

Kill two birds with one stone

Majority coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi services and let you warm their seats for as long as you wish. Make use of this wonderful service and chalk out one such day where you leave that secluded make shift office and work from the local coffee store. The coffee shop ensures peace and calm (especially if you are usually working from home) while you work along with free Wi-Fi and coffee! What more does one need?

Stay Active, Stay fit

Now once you have everything set from the schedule to an office space to clothes to outings marked, don’t glue yourself for hours in front of that computer. Squeeze in a half an hour break in your schedule besides the lunch and snacking hours. Make use of that half an hour to concentrate on your health, go out for a walk or run, do some stretches, loosen up your body and mind. Not only will this help you work better but it’s healthy in the long run.

Working from home is far more aggravating than sitting in an office from 9 to 5. It requires complete concentration of the body and mind and a very understanding family that gives you space when working.  Try these tips and let us know if it worked towards maintaining your sanity! Good luck!

1) Consider your space requirements

Many people prefer to work from their houses when setting up a startup. This however often comes with a number of drawbacks as working from one’s own home requires a great deal of discipline. For this reason, it is vital that you carefully consider the size and location of your office space. Are you expecting your business to grow quickly? If so, you may wish to locate a larger office space in the first place. If you decide to rent an apartment (or even a house), you can check websites like Sahipasand.com for good price offers in your city. You can even opt for renting some office space that fits within your budget rather than a whole apartment for your daily startup operations.

2) Consider your lease and landlord

If you decide to rent an officse space you will need to consider the needs and requirements of your landlord. He or she may place restrictions on your working hours and on the manner in which you may use the space. It may also be difficult to get a lease as startup owners naturally do not know how long they will require their rented office for.

3) Consider your finances

When selecting and setting up an office space you must always consider your current available finances. Setting up an office can be very costly and some factors such as a good internet connection are absolutely crucial. For this reason, many startup business owners prefer to rent an office space which already includes basic furniture and furnishings in order to save money. Remember to only use appliances such as air conditioning units when strictly necessary.

4) Consider your furnishings and technical requirements

Once you have rented or purchased an office space you will not actually require a great deal of furniture but we do recommend that you purchase ergonomic chairs to ensure the comfort of your team. Your startup office space will also need to be well-equipped with technical devices such as computers. A great solution is to purchase a used desktop computer with a new monitor and/or bring laptops from home in order to avoid this initial expense.

By carefully considering the above aspects you will find yourselves well on the way to finding and setting up the perfect office space for your new business.
