Ensure lots of light 

The first important thing to consider when you are creating a workspace is bringing light into it to help you stay alert throughout the day as well as improve your productivity. This means having lots of windows close to your workspace and trying to find a room in your apartment or home that is south facing to make the most of the daylight. You’d be surprised what a difference this can make to those working in an office environment and it will soon prove to be perfect for you.

Organise with shelving 

When creating an office space that works for you it is important for you to be organised and keep everything in its rightful place. In other words, you don’t want to have piles of random documents lying around or clutter because this can be distracting and it will also make it harder for you to find the things you need during your working day. Instead, why not try and think about organising your documents and files into colour coded files and add them to some shelving in your office? This will make a massive different to you and will allow you to stay focused.
