Your chair and desk should fit your body.

Your chair and desk should fit your body.

Regardless of what you’re working on, the last thing you want to do is spend time sitting in an uncomfortable position. The same goes for sitting at a desk or table — if it doesn’t feel right then you’ll have a hard time focusing on what needs to get done.

If possible, try out multiple chairs until one feels right for your size and shape (or use an adjustable height stool). This helps reduce fatigue during long stretches of time in front of a computer screen or tablet device because it allows us to change our positions as needed without disrupting our workflow too much by having to move away from our workstation regularly throughout the day (which would be disruptive).

The chair should support your hips, thighs, knees and feet.

The chair should support your hips, thighs, knees and feet. If you’ve ever been in a chair that sags or wobbles when you lean back or sit up straight, then this is an important factor to consider. Your back should be able to rest comfortably on the seat cushion without feeling like it’s sinking into the floor.

Also pay attention to whether or not there is any give in the fabric of your office chair (if so). You want something that will allow you enough movement while still supporting your body well enough so that it doesn’t feel like your legs are being squished together during long hours at work.

You should be able to comfortably reach all the way across your desk.

A productive workspace should be comfortable, but it should also be practical. You shouldn’t have to worry about how far your arms and legs are from the ground or whether they’ll get stuck in between chairs.

You want to make sure that you can comfortably reach all the way across your desk, so that you don’t have to stop what you’re doing every time someone needs something from behind them (like their laptop).

The place for all of your tools is logical and not cluttered (a clean workspace keeps you focused).

The place for all of your tools is logical and not cluttered (a clean workspace keeps you focused).

The first thing to consider is how much space you can afford. If it’s not possible, then don’t worry about it—just make sure that your tools are readily accessible. You’ll be able to find them quickly when they’re needed!

Put everything with a purpose (spare key ring, business cards, USB drive, etc) right where you need it.

One of the best ways to keep your work space clean and organized is to put everything with a purpose right where you need it. For example, if you’re using a USB drive on a regular basis, put it in an easy-access spot near your computer so that you don’t have to dig through your drawers or backpack every time.

If there are any items that don’t have clear uses in the office environment—like spare keys or business cards—store them in one place so they’re always accessible.

Think about how you tend to work and how you can organize things accordingly.

It’s important to think about how you tend to work, and how you can organize things accordingly. If you typically work in an office environment with a computer, then that’s the best place for your workspace. However, if you prefer working at home or on the road (and sometimes even both), there are some things that should be taken into consideration before setting up shop in any given location.

For example:

• Do I need access to Wi-Fi? If not—or if it’s too expensive—then don’t worry about it! But if yes…

• Do I have enough outlets/USB ports? This one might seem obvious but when dealing with multiple devices at once (like laptops and smartphones) it can become tricky trying to plug them all in without causing confusion or frustration among coworkers or clients alike (especially when they’re trying their hardest).

There are many ways to work that work well for the individual.

There are many ways to work that work well for the individual. The best way to find your own productivity rhythm is by trying different things, seeing what works and what doesn’t.

Whether you’re working from home or at an office, setting up a productive workspace can help you get more done in less time.

Conclusion

Laughing a lot: Does that sound familiar? If there’s no laughter in your office, try creating more opportunities for laughter.

Section: At the start of each day, before you work, ask yourself: What will I do to stay happy and productive today?(Happiness is contagious. Studies show that happy people tend to be more creative, confident and are less stressed [1].)

Section: Set aside one special moment during the day when you can enjoy a joke or a bit of silliness just for fun(If you have trouble thinking of things to do for fun on “work” days, try asking your colleagues what they did last week on their off-work time).

Takeaway: Laughing is good for everyone.

In a friendly tone (or in front of your boss or colleagues)  with tongue planted firmly in cheek…

The Rules : Don’t talk about work unless it directly relates to work (i.e., it’s not gossip). No talking about other employees unless they’re already present/part of the conversation(Your fellow colleagues need to trust you enough with this information so that they know that it’s confidential; if your co-workers don’t “like” you, it won’t matter if what you say is relevant or not! There will always be other people who are willing to talk about someone else). Don’t tell lies. If in doubt, don’t say anything at all and face the music later (That’s up to someone else to decide; maybe just avoid saying anything at all). You probably won’t get away with anything but may cause problems later on by spreading rumors. That’s up to someone else to determine. Don’t make threats unless it applies directly to work (i.e., an internal threat will have consequences that could impact a person or persons employed by Cox Communications .) And finally
