We are all living in the new normal world, where our homes have become new havens for us. For many of us who spent a lot of our productive time in the office, home is now our new normal, our space for work and recreation as well. However, while we have all reconciled to a new lifestyle, we also have to create new spaces in our home that balance out with our new life. In many ways, for many of us, what we do is intricately tied to our personalities as well, thus being able to create a work-from-home space that we can be proud of, is critically important to our ability to function at our best. Entrepreneur India spoke to the who’s who of the industry to know how they have been coping with the perils of the pandemic and yet working at key positions in their organizations.

CREATE THE IDEAL WORK-FROM-HOME SETUP

A work-from-home space deserves to be well looked after. Use your own personal signature to make it appear well cared for and absolutely yours. Use a bright coat of paint, or wallpaper paper to brighten up the walls right next to your desk. These are instant energizers and will make you feel better about those dreary and long days. Use a whiteboard or a regular board to stick up lists, to-do notes, and important phone numbers to make sure that you always have the sense of energy that is needed.

Don’t be afraid to express yourself, there should be some perks to work from home. When asked about his work-from-home set-up, Paavan Nanda, Co-founder of WinZO Games, spoke about the drastic change in his leadership style. Switching from open office space to the confinement of a room, “My WFH setup was structured for multiple weekly informal sessions with effective communication and support to the team”, he said.
