We know that, given the new normal, lockdowns, quarantines, and other social restrictions, many activities that used to happen outside the home have moved inside—with working from home being one of the most prominent.

It’s no secret that a change of scenery is essential to promote the flow of ideas and better thinking. That’s why setting up a productive workspace at home is vital and indispensable. Here are our best tips to make your days productive while managing all your tasks from the comfort of your home:

‍

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Low lighting makes your eyes work harder, causing fatigue faster. The solution is to ensure your apartment has plenty of natural light—like the units at Urbana Park or Mitika Apartaestudios, which feature exterior views and abundant sunlight, creating the perfect work environment.

Additional tips: open your blinds during work hours or add white-light bulbs or lamps to make sure your office is well lit.

‍

INCORPORATE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS AND STYLE

Make your workspace reflect your personality. Use your favorite colors and decorate the way you like. The more your office represents you, the more enjoyable it will be to spend time there.

Fun fact: adding one or two plants can boost productivity by 15%, according to a UK study. Green tones also positively affect mood and focus.

‍

CREATE AN OPEN SPACE

Studies show that workspace layout and furniture impact work quality. An uncluttered space—also called “Open Space”—enhances productivity. While some creatives thrive in mess, if you want to stay organized and efficient, keep your office as clear as possible. Remove any unnecessary furniture or objects that create clutter.

‍

POSITION YOUR DESK FACING A WINDOW

This tip ties in with #1. Facing a wall without a window can feel claustrophobic. Placing your desk by a window lets in sunlight and gives you a view of the outside world, improving performance.

Imagine working from home with a view of Cerro Majuy, just like at Allegro Sabana Club. Seeing nature’s beauty can help your productivity flow at 100%.

‍

KEEP YOUR GOALS IN SIGHT

Keep your eyes on the prize—literally. Knowing what you’re working for keeps your drive alive, even on low-motivation days.

‍

Forget your goals, and your productivity can plummet instantly. Keep reminders visible: a vision board above your desk, a family photo if that’s your motivation, or a picture of an exotic vacation destination you’re planning. These visual cues reinforce the “why” behind your efforts.
