Get the right workstation.

  • Get the right workstation.

  • Take a look at your workspace and think about how you feel while working there, as well as what kind of work you do best. If it’s hard for you to concentrate on certain tasks or if they’re not fun, then maybe something isn’t quite right with your setup. A good first step is getting a new chair that will help improve comfort and productivity in one fell swoop—and we’ve got some great ones!

Alternative ways to work at your desk.

You can also make your workspace more ergonomic by using the right equipment. For example, if you want to work on a laptop, consider getting an adjustable stand that will allow you to elevate it from the table and reduce strain on your wrists and arms.

Alternatively, some people prefer working in an environment where they have plenty of space around them without being cramped up against something else (such as another person). This may mean getting rid of unnecessary furniture like desks or bookcases in favor of open floor plans with lots of natural light coming through windows so that everyone gets their own privacy area without feeling too isolated from each other.

Place effective lighting where it’s needed most.

  • Choose the right lighting.

  • Consider your location, size and shape of the room, and what you need to accomplish in it. For example, if you spend most of your time at a desk or computer, then consider installing fluorescent bulbs that emit light evenly throughout the space. If you’re working from home but also have other responsibilities like cooking dinner or watching TV with friends every night after work, then choose LED lights because they’re energy efficient and produce less heat than incandescent bulbs.

Every office is unique, so be sure to know yours.

You may have a very different office than the one I do. That’s okay! The important thing is that you find a space where you feel comfortable and can get things done.

Here are five things to keep in mind when choosing your workspace:

  • Size matters. You don’t want to overcrowd yourself or feel like everyone else is staring at you while they work. Make sure there’s enough room so that people will be able to move around freely without bumping into each other, but also make sure it doesn’t feel too big either (this means having less furniture than usual).

  • Lighting is important, too! If possible try turning off all lights except for those needed for eye strain reduction—and even then only during certain times of day/weekend work hours if necessary due to lack of sunlight exposure outside (I’ve found this helps cut down on general lighting costs as well).

Packing your workspace can do a lot to improve productivity and comfort.

  • Make sure that you have enough space for both your desk and chair, as well as other furniture. A good rule of thumb is that a person should be able to sit comfortably in their chair without feeling cramped or squashed. If you have an area for storage under or behind your desk, make sure it’s big enough so that you can use it effectively (and keep things out of sight).

  • Use natural light whenever possible; artificial lighting will only increase the amount of stress on your eyes over time! If this isn’t possible because they’re working late into the evening, consider dimming the lights by turning off overhead lamps and moving them away from windows where they cast shadows onto desks while they’re working at night.*

Office furniture too often ends up being a substitute for real quality time with your team.

The simple act of sitting down and spending time with your team is often the most important part of working together. When you’re forced to take every meeting in a conference room, or use a phone as an excuse not to go out for lunch, it can be easy for people who are used to more traditional offices to feel disconnected from their colleagues.

If you find yourself feeling like an outsider at work because your office has become too much like an office building and not enough like home, there are some things you can do:

  • Create a comfortable space by bringing back some classic furniture pieces (like couches) that have been missing from the office since its inception

Use your office space to help you get organized and stay productive.

  • Use your office space to help you get organized and stay productive.

  • Use the right tools for the job, and keep them handy.

  • Create a system that works for you, so it doesn’t feel like work!

Consider the kind of business you run and what activities need to be done there.

When you are deciding on the kind of workspace that best suits your needs, consider the activities that need to be done in your business. If you’re running an accounting firm and need to work with clients on their tax returns, then a private office might be better than a shared desk or cubicle. On the other hand, if you’re an entrepreneur who needs to meet with investors or potential partners daily, then a shared office will probably suit your needs better.

It’s also important for employees who have different jobs within their company (like salespeople vs designers) to have separate spaces so they don’t have access anymore than necessary from each other’s desks—and this includes yours!

If you’re looking for inspiration, take a look at the stories associated with some of the world’s top business leaders.

  • For example, consider how many hours per day Eric Schmidt spends on his office desk? According to his company blog post, “the average CEO works about 80 hours per week.” That’s more than double what an average employee does!
