2020 has now kicked off and while some of you might still be enjoying a holiday, this time of the year is also associated with new resolutions of how we can make this year a better, healthier, more fulfilling one.
Here are a few tips on how to be best prepared to tackle 2020:
Get set up: is your office set up correctly for you? The right furniture can really make a difference in the way you perform at work. Good lighting, ergonomic chairs, footrests, monitor positioning are all contributing factors.
Be organised: it helps you think clearly which in turns helps you be more productive. Clean up your digital and physical desk, sort through old paperwork and organise your filing cabinet and pedestal in a way that works for you. Keep your desktop clutter free and your valuables within hand’s reach with our Globe Underdesk Drawer. Check out all our storage solutions here.
Stay connected: in a time where we need to be contactable around the clock, don’t let your devices run out of power. With lots of above desk power solutions available, ranging from small USB outlets to multiple GPO/USB power boxes, it is easy to charge and use your device simultaneously. Stay tuned…we have have a new wireless charging station coming soon.
Stay healthy: we can see why this one makes the top 5 resolutions every year. It is easy to be sedentary when you spend the day sitting at a desk. Don’t forget to move! Take regular breaks and step away from your desk, even for a few minutes. Set a reminder if you need to. Switch your meetings to walking meetings. Go for a walk, run or exercise class during your lunch break. Why not invest in a height adjustable workstation? Depending on your budget and power access, you can choose between winder, pneumatic or electric options. If this isn’t on the cards, active seating options like our Balance stool and ottomans help keep your core activated.
Go green: plants have a proven effect onto your health and your productivity. There are many ways to bring greenery into the office, from a small succulent on your desk to larger floor plants. We also offer planters that fit our Trak system and serve as a divider between workstations or that can top your storage units.
