Make Sure You’re Relaxed Enough For Work
If you’re working from home then you need to try and cultivate that brilliant working environment so that your productivity is at a fairly consistent level. If you aren’t relaxed everything is going to feel that little bit harder. For a start, consider a better, more comfortable office chair. It’s something you don’t really want to skimp on. If you’re comfortable you’ll do your best work. Ensure your desk matches the chair height well enough and that you can see the screen at eye level. Your wrists need to feel comfy too otherwise they can end up aching when you’re using the mouse. Consider getting two screens and ensure they’re evenly spaced so that you’re not causing any additional strain on your neck while you look from one to the other.

Maybe your kids have too many toys. Perhaps you need to come to terms with the fact that you’re a hoarder. Sell them off or bin them and basque in the ambiance of a clutter-free relax inducing home. Everyone is different. Some don’t mind having a bit of clutter around but it’s surely worth a try. It’ll make living, in general, a lot easier. At least try it for your key relaxation space or workspace and see if you’re any more productive in the long run.
