If you work from a small office, you know how important space efficiency is to staying productive. Cluttered, cramped workspaces are not conducive to maximizing productivity during the day and can be distracting and depressing. Space is especially tight for people who:
· Work from a home office
· Have just downsized
· Are working from a temporary space during a move
· Share a co-working office space with other professionals
Even when space is tight, you can still be productive and meet your daily goals—but it may require a bit of creativity and decluttering. Some tips for maintaining productivity when moving into a smaller space:
Bulky furniture and equipment will make a tight space even tighter and will create a feeling of confinement. Reliance on a lot of big, space-consuming equipment will also limit how much you can move around and still get work done. Online, cloud-based tools are ideal for busy professionals who don’t have a lot of room in which to work. Online software tools go where you do, and they do not require special devices, printers, or servers so that you have more freedom over where and how you choose to work. Online tools also provide their own storage of important documents and transactional records, so you can cut down on filing cabinets and storage containers while still having immediate access to up-to-date records.
It can be difficult to keep your work organized all day, but in small spaces it is especially important to straighten up paperwork and records. For those documents of which you need hard copies, create a simplified filing system that you use consistently so that papers do not accumulate or pile up. Remembering to tidy up at the end of each day will make you more productive when you return the next day and do not have to waste time and energy cleaning up work from past days.
Many online tools for businesses are preferred by those who work in small spaces because online software services are, generally, not device-specific and don’t require a lot of equipment or investment to access. When choosing your online software for accounting and financial management, don’t forget to add online check printing and mailing through Checkeeper to your array of digital tools.
