Whether you are working at home or in a traditional office setting, there always seems to be more work to get done than hours in the day to do it. Just when you sit back in satisfaction after finishing a task another lands in your inbox. Whilst you can’t add hours to the day, there are ways to ensure that you make the most of the time that you do have and maximise your productivity. Here we take a look at some of the ways to do more with your time and get more done in the day.
Use a high quality desk
Arguably one of the most important pieces of office furniture when it comes to maximising productivity, your choice of desk can have a significant impact on your comfort and work rate. Whether you favour an oblong desk, a wave desk or even a standing desk, be sure to think carefully about how you use your desk and what space you need on its surface, luckily there are plenty to choose from at suppliers like Office Reality. When selecting a desk it is wise to consider the chair you will be using so that you can think about how their sizes and shapes will work together.
Schedule your day
With time at a premium in today’s world, it is important to organise the time that you have. It is a good idea to make a list of the work that you have to complete, prioritise the tasks you have to accomplish depending on their importance and the deadlines you are working to, and then slot them into your week accordingly. By scheduling your week effectively you will ensure that everything gets done and that the work is distributed throughout the week.
Sit comfortably
Sitting down for long periods can be uncomfortable and asks a lot of your body – especially your back. A high quality, ergonomically designed chair is vital in any office. Perhaps one of the most important features of an office chair when it comes to maximising productivity is the adaptability of the chair. A chair with an adjustable back, legs and seat will help you to remain comfortable and supported all day, which will make working for long periods more comfortable and maximise your productivity. The right office chair is not just about productivity and comfort, it is also about ensuring that you care for yourself and prioritise your wellbeing.
Keep hydrated
It seems like a simple suggestion, but office workers – especially those working from home – often find themselves suffering with headaches and aching limbs and this is often due to dehydration. Having a plentiful supply of water in your office is important when it comes to maximising your productivity. Think about investing in a chilled water dispenser, a couple of reusable bottles, or simply make drinking water a part of your daily schedule.

Install a whiteboard
Having a whiteboard – even a small one – in your office can help to boost and maximise your productivity as it gives you a space to collect and arrange your ideas quickly and in a very visible format. Being able to see an overview of your thinking and tasks can help you to work through solutions and encourage effective and efficient working.
