Even before the pandemic, suppose you already conducted your job duties from home.
Imagine this: the COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down. It’s not just a thought experiment – it’s something that has actually happened. The old-school 9-5 office job commute is starting to fade away into the background. Even before the pandemic, suppose you already conducted your job duties from home. Say, for the sake of argument, that this was roughly 90% of what you did. Oh sure, you would sometimes go on-site – either by choice or for regularly scheduled meetings. But working from home has its own perks, too.
A Designated Workspace Just for You
Whether or not your office environment has a set of cubicles, it’s still a hectic place to be. After all, you’ll be able to hear basically everything your coworkers do. It’s a little different when you and your team members are given a room (a bullpen) to work in as if you are all a group of journalists. Working from home, however, changes that dynamic. The office in your spare room can become your new setup.
Helpful Tax Deduction Incentives
The thing about having a home office in your apartment is that you can go do something else for a little while when you need a break. Take your dogs for a walk, or get some chores done, for example. You could also choose to take a quick power nap once your morning coffee has worn off.
But here’s something you may not have known before – dedicated home office spaces bring useful tax deductions with them. Individual taxes apply, and the amount of money you save will differ. Even so, this is an important reason to continue working from home. That flexibility is not a given but is a huge benefit that can build loyalty to your company. Besides, if you run your own small business, this could give you a boost.
Use an Extra Room to Host Meetings
These days, most of the meetings you participate in are going to be virtual ones. Whether through Google’s Meet platform, FaceTime, Zoom, or even the venerable Skype, all of these options remain valid. Of course, there is the possibility of in-person meetings soon. But at least you can concentrate on client interaction this way, rather than meeting up at a coffee shop or bookstore.
Get Everything Organized and Keep Flowing
Clutter is the natural enemy of productivity. Even if you’ve never considered yourself a fastidiously-neat person, your messy apartment can seriously throw you off your groove. You might not be able to find some of the materials you need, or you’ll end up wasting time looking for something. All of your business-related assets (desk, filing cabinets, calendars, etc.) can be arranged in a single room instead of all over the place!
