Optimise Your Work-Life Balance with Storage Containers in East London

This week, the Store That team discuss achieving the optimum work-life balance, and how our storage containers in East London can help you on your way.

With many employers giving the opportunity for flexible working hours and working from home, many employees have now opted to adopt this working method to encourage a more comfortable work-life balance.

However, with working from home means that in some cases, the home and office environment become amalgamated. Many of us do not have a separate room available to convert into a working office space. Here are our suggestions for ensuring a better balance between the two.

Stay organised with containers in East London

You can easily optimise your living space by keeping your workspace organised. If you keep work-related equipment in a designated area, it will make the separation between work and home clearly visible. It would be even better if you can spare just half an hour a week to declutter and clean your designated workspace. This way, you can ensure that your desk will be tidier and there won’t be documents strewn all over your living space.

An alternative option would be to go paperless by converting paper files to digital documents, where possible. This is a fantastic way to both reduce mess, as well as being more environmentally friendly! Digital files are much more readily accessible in comparison to piles of paper in your desk drawers.

If you have a large number of important documents and file stacks that you need to keep hold of, but don’t want them in your living room, it’s definitely worth considering renting one of our office storage London units.

Home office

 Spacious desks, large office chairs and expensive computers are all things that are commonly accessible in an office environment. However, bringing all of these vital items back home isn’t always the simplest of tasks. This is where storage containers in East London can be life savers!

If your work equipment suddenly needs to take priority, then office storage London could be the perfect solution for you. With our self-storage units, you can store anything that you’re not currently using but have it readily available for when you need it again.

Separate living space from your office

To encourage a better work-life balance, it’s important to segregate your workspace from your living environment. For example, we would recommend creating a working desk, as opposed to using your dining table. We advise that you try to find an area at home that could be converted into a workspace, even if its small. This way, it will help you keep to your clock-off time, and you can leave this designated area at the end of the day. What’s more, you’re likely to be more productive during working hours, with less distractions around and can switch-off more easily in the evenings.
