You’ve probably already set your resolutions for 2017, but have you thought through your professional goals? Making professional goals is essential to building a successful career, but some people overlook just how important your actual office space is to your ability to thrive. Creating a comfortable, functional space is critical to being productive—and it’s actually quite easy to get started!
Rearrange your furniture to create a more productive flow
Whether you work as a solopreneur in your guest bedroom or are the CEO of a global company, your office space needs to be conducive to productivity. Are you always tripping over a chair, or do you have to walk to the other side of the room to pick things up from the printer? Now’s the time to switch things up and create a more functional space. When rearranging furniture, take your daily activities into consideration. For instance, you’ll need lighting where you spend most of your time and will need to create a comfortable place for client meetings if you commonly host them.
Update your office’s color scheme
Color makes a major psychological impact on people. In fact, the color of paint on your office’s walls can predispose you to certain moods. Pick a bright, cheerful new color palette that feels fresh and inviting and use these colors in your office décor, such as in new frames for your degrees.
Declutter
Many busy professionals have piles of paperwork stashed in the corners of their offices. Make it a goal for 2017 to declutter your space and create a more peaceful work environment! When going through your papers, make one pile of things you’d like to frame (such as degrees, certifications, photos, or notes from happy customers), one pile of things that need to be shredded, and one pile of things that can be recycled.
