Working from home in the winter

When working from home, it can be hard to stay comfortable and warm, especially as the temperature drops. So, here’s our guide on how to feel more positive and productive.

Let the light in

Make the most of what little light we have in the UK during the colder months. Rearrange your home workspace and position your desk beside a window to maximise how much natural daylight and vitamin D you get.

Stock up on houseplants

Plants help breathe more life into a room, so add some greenery to your workspace. It’s well-known that a plant on your desk can reduce stress and anxiety levels, helping your mental health in the long-term.

Take some me time

Cabin fever is likely to set in if you stay at home for too long. So, why not go for a short walk on your break to clear your head? Or do a lunchtime workout online to help you get moving? If it’s raining, make a brew and watch an episode of your favourite TV show.

Find balance

It’s easy to slip into back to back video calls, but it’s important to have things to look forward to. It’ll keep the motivation going, giving you an extra push to get that task done before enjoying your evening.
