Start with warm white lighting that&#8217;s easy on your eyes and a comfy chair (because you&#8217;ll most likely be sitting all day!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Designate a separate work area<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the biggest mistakes people make when working from home is not creating a clear distinction between work and play. When\u00a0you&#8217;re at home, ensure that wherever you sleep or lounge is completely separate from where you work (so, yes, don&#8217;t work from your bed) \u2013 this will train your mind to know that desk equals work and bed equals sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep your work area clutter-free<\/strong><br \/>\nOrganization is key to staying productive. Ensure your workspace is free of any clutter by utilizing pieces like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pier1.com\/mini-ceramic-prep-bowl-set\/4036815.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pier 1 Mini Ceramic Prep Bowls<\/a> to store miscellaneous items (paper clips, coins, hair ties, staples, etc.).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure you have all the essentials<\/strong><br \/>\nBeyond the computer and strong Wi-Fi, there are a few essentials to make working from home more comfortable and productive. Think warm throws like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markandgraham.com\/products\/monogrammed-fabfitfun-blanket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark &amp; Graham Colorblock Throw<\/a> (especially during the winter!), self-care tools like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wayofwill.com\/products\/uplift-essential-oil-set-3-essential-oils-oil-gift-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WAY OF WILL Uplift Essential Oil Set<\/a> to uplift your senses throughout the day, a <a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/best-2019-planners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">planner<\/a> to stay organized, and, of course, coffee for a caffeine boost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dress to impress<\/strong><br \/>\nStart your &#8220;work from home&#8221; mornings the same way you would if you were going to the office. Dressing up is a great confidence and productivity boost that will help switch your mind to work mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set aside time for breaks<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether you use an online calendar or enjoy writing out your schedule, allot specific break times throughout the day to act as checkpoints. Trust us, you&#8217;ll be more motivated to work during work hours and your break will feel more well-deserved.<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n<p>Psst! Have you signed up for FabFitFun yet?
