Let’s make your home office a better fit for the work you do.
Home offices are populated by 80 million American workers at least one day each week, and there are millions more who could be working from home. More than 92 million of us (about 58 percent of workers) can work from home at least one day a week. And millions of us never walk into a traditional office outside of our homes.
So that home office is essential to making sure we get that list done each day, and not get tempted by what’s on streaming, a fun hobby, or the laundry piling up.
Before you commit fully to continuing to use the old TV stand as your make-shift desk, or your kid’s Finding Nemo desk lamp that was taking up space in the attic, take a moment to reflect on what kind of home office will best serve what work you want to accomplish in that home office.
What is the best color for a home office?
Yes, color affects how we work. Most people will say blue is the best color for a home office, since it’s calm. But if you aren’t doing analytical work, and need to find inspiration and creativity to complete your tasks, blue might not be best for you.
Yellows, purples, and oranges can help to stimulate the happy creative parts of our brains. And if you need to get psyched to work, try including spots of red on your desk.
