In our digital age, working remotely has become the norm. But if you\u2019re new to the home office life, we\u2019ve asked Lisney\u2019s first remote worker, Marketing Executive Zoe Yohn for a few handy tips and tricks that will help you transform your home into a comfortable, productive workspace! Read on for our how-to guide on setting up your home office, no business formal required!<\/p>\n

How long have you been working remotely?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been with Lisney for the past three years and have been working from my hometown in Colorado, USA for the past ten months.<\/p>\n

How was the transition from office life to home office?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The transition was fairly seamless. I took a few hours to set up my space, but thanks to our IT team and HR, everything was hooked up and ready to go from a tech standpoint straight away. All I really needed to do was find a place to set up shop and I was up and running!<\/p>\n

Do you have a dedicated home office?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t have a spare room to make a home office in my current residence, so I had to be creative.<\/p>\n

Having plenty of natural light and views of greenery was important to me (I had stunning views over St. Stephen\u2019s Green in our Lisney HQ offices!), so I ended up commandeering a corner of our conservatory.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a home office, you can take over a portion of your kitchen table, a corner of the living room, or even set up a desk in the hallway if you have the room for it!<\/p>\n

How do you make your office space feel separate from your home space?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Curating a dedicated area is key. I brought all of our Lisney marketing materials with me and keep them within easy reach to remind me I\u2019m working, not looking out at the garden. I use my Lisney Keep Cup as well \u2013 it reminds me of having elevenses with my workmates in the canteen!<\/p>\n

Before I start working, I do a once over and pick up any home bits \u2013 magazines, posts, our running Scrabble tally \u2013 to help create a feeling that this is now a professional environment. The same goes in the evening, when I close up my laptop and put my notebooks and pens away neatly, in case my dad wants an evening cup of coffee on his rightful porch!<\/p>\n

Finally, add some green to your space with potted plants. Succulents are easy to keep alive, and faux flowers even better!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Any tips for keeping focused while working from home?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have to keep a schedule to stay on track. I wake up and go about my morning routine the same as if I was going to the office. As much as I would love to work in PJs, getting dressed is a must. Then, I work on the same hourly schedule I do at our Lisney headquarters, 2 hours working, then a 15-minute break for a cup of tea, 2 more hours, lunch, and so on!<\/p>\n

What about distractions at home such as family members and pets?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Naturally, the distractions at home are different from those at the office. I don\u2019t have kids but live with my 72-year-old dad, who loves a chat. I let him know what my schedule is like each morning so he is on the same page when I\u2019m writing emails or putting together social posts.<\/p>\n

My biggest distraction is my dog, Albie. But overall, he\u2019s a good colleague, even if he does chew my laptop charger wire sometimes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of working remotely?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I feel as if I can really focus in on big projects, without the day-to-day distraction of office chats or normal interruptions.<\/p>\n

Working from home has also really helped my work-life balance. It\u2019s much easier to hit the gym during my lunch break when I\u2019m remote than it is at the office.<\/p>\n

What are the cons of working remotely?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Missing my workmates! I\u2019m lucky in that we\u2019ve got a really great culture at Lisney \u2013 I have lots of friends at the office and miss being in on the jokes, etc.<\/p>\n

That said, in 2020 I can stay up-to-date with WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and of course, sending GIFs.<\/p>\n

Any last tips for creating a home office space?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Make sure you are as comfortable as possible and have everything you need ready to go. Whether that\u2019s printing your reports each morning before you sit down or having a selection of coloured pens at hand, make your working environment as \u2018normal\u2019 as possible if you\u2019re used to being in a traditional office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And a good cup of coffee with a dog at hand will do wonders for your morale!<\/p>\n
