For five years, I have gone through all the hardships udalonki: small children, a small space, stiffness. Now he knows how to do not necessary.
You've probably seen the beautiful pictures, where boys and girls with laptops sitting on the beach and watching the sunset, "work". Reality is much more prosaic.
Most often study a freelancer - a kitchen with boiling soup on the stove, clogged with trash balcony or a small corner in a single room apartment.
The main problem udalonki - blurred boundaries between work and home.
The hardest thing was when the younger daughter. A newborn baby can not say: "Lilechka, lie down, while I'll work, do not play."
And colleagues will not say, "Ciao, office monkey, I'm home." Yes, you are finished at five o'clock in the works, and went to rest. But nine someone from office colleagues sent a letter, and you for some reason, read and responded immediately.
Growing up, children begin to pull over trifles: to drink, open a box of toys.
A time when the words come one after the other, it's inspiration, and then - bang! Need some time horse because the doll is very sad without fervent horse, and how are you, Dad, do not you realize that this is true is important.
Such cases take a couple of minutes, but the attitude and concentration slipping sharply.
One day during a Skype meeting on the background appeared to Vasilina ponyahoy. How to explain to a three-year child that looks at her marketing departments of large Internet companies, and it's a bit out of season?
The table at which I had worked, became a pasture in the evening, or the cave of the dinosaurs, or just a place to show the cartoons.
So it was impossible to continue, so I spent upgrading the workplace. Now I have a separate table that is all I want only from racks for books and an additional monitor to comics and games. There is a place for the Rubik's cube, a tripod, and aloe sprouting lemon balm, notepads for all occasions and playing Pokemon to be distracted from work.
But all this half-measures. From my experience I can not easy to give one major and six associated tips on arrangement of the workplace.
It is better to turn to professionals who will take into account all the nuances and make beautiful.
7 principles of organization of a workplace at home
1. Separate
If you work at home, you should have a separate room. Dot. Enough small room - 9-12 square meters.
If the apartment studio, obosobte the place where it will be your desk. Designers great zoned premises: like a single unit, but can clearly be seen the border areas. Thanks to this psychologically easier to switch from work to rest and vice versa.
Advice from FlatplanZoned space is massive partitions, but with the help of finishing. For example, if you are in the bedroom has a work area, you can select it in a different color. For zoning in a small room is also suitable rack. Choose a narrow backless model to make it look lighter and missed natural light.
2. Keep the contrast
Do not sleep where they work.
I know people who wake up, take out from under the pillow laptop and immediately start working. If you and sleep and work and relax in one room, the boundary between work and personal life is not just blurred, and completely erased.
Advice from FlatplanMost people work from home for a laptop, so no need to allocate space for a table right in the room. If the apartment is warmed balcony, it can be used as a work area. In the studio apartment, where the kitchen has a breakfast bar, it's easy to adapt a space for a laptop. It is only necessary to choose a convenient bar stool with armrests and high back.
3. Work dressed
Do not wear a suit, but be sure to dress. These may be homemade shorts and t-shirt, but they must be on you. Well, if the office is a small chest of drawers or cupboard where you can put a change of clothes.
4. Create opportunities for breaks
Set clear schedule. Colleagues have to get used to you on the spot from 9 to 19 hours and you should not bother you before and after this time, and pets get used to the fact that until seven in the evening you are at work, you can not pull you in nothing.
Domestic issues are solved in the short breaks in the office - on kakaushko or a cigarette, but in your case - to put the kettle on or run over the eggs.
During the day, sometimes useful to recharge the internal battery.
Hang on a window with blackout curtains and buy a comfortable chair.
Just ten minutes in a relaxed position with eyes closed in silence and semi-darkness are able to return inspiration.
5. Get rid of excess
In his study should not be extraneous things: no landfill clothes or dusty boxes that had to throw more 20 years ago.
But the table has to be spacious enough to fit everything you need to work (from a pair of monitors to stapler). Pleasing to the eye trinkets can be placed on shelves above.
Advice from FlatplanFor comfortable storage organization choose a table with a built-in shelves or tables. Now the popular magnetic chalk or decorative boards, on which it is convenient to place the different little things. One of the walls can be completely finished cork board - an option not only solve functional problems, but also help to create an interesting emphasis in space.
6. Go!
I want to say a few words about the notorious HLS. At the beginning of 2017 I turned out to be a difficult period, during which I gained a lot of weight. Do not repeat my mistakes.
Dedicate at least 15 minutes a day walking. For potatoes on the market, two laps around the house, just a walk - without a difference. Go! If you have iron willpower and the area allows, put a cabinet in a sports simulator. Select two or three breaks during the day to work out on it. If space is limited, do not miss a single opportunity to move around and buy dumbbells or at least the hoop.
7. Do not neglect the rest
Well, if your home mikroofis will be locked with a key. Especially on weekends.
The key to hide the duck, duck - hare, rabbit - in the trunk, and the trunk put on a timer, so that it opened Monday morning.
Do not deprive yourself of the weekend!
Walk, meet friends, running to her parents. If all the time to sit at home, you can not only overweight, but losing loved ones.
