Have you been sitting in the home office for months and find it difficult to motivate yourself? The chaos on your dining room table is getting bigger and bigger, as is your back pain from the kitchen chair? Then check out our 5 tips on how to get your productivity back on track.
1. Find a new place to sit
Your kitchen or dining room chair is simply not designed to be spent 40 hours a week on. How many did you think after a few months you would be back in the office?
We have all noticed that the home office is not going away so quickly.
In addition to its many advantages, it also brings with it some difficulties, because there is not always enough space to have your own office and then the dining area or kitchenette often has to be used.
But you probably didn't have ergonomics in mind when you chose your furniture. And after a long day at work, you can now feel every bone.
But no compromises should be made, especially when it comes to office chairs, because anyone who spends as much time sitting as we do should definitely make sure that they can sit ergonomically. At least they know that ergonomics doesn't necessarily have to look like a doctor's office. That's why you'll find many models that combine ergonomics and style.
Whether Scandi, minimalist, leather or exactly your favorite color, with us you will find a chair that suits your interior.
Of course, you don't necessarily need an office space for this, all of our models are height-adjustable and can therefore be used on any table you have.
You can find out how you can adjust it to suit your table height in our guide article here.
Tip: If you don't want to be reminded of your work on the weekend, simply store your home office chair in the basement, attic or garage.
2. Keep moving
The good thing about working from home is that you can choose your own office furniture and you can work how you want without getting strange looks. Whether you work standing, sitting or sitting cross-legged is entirely up to you. Experts now primarily recommend making your everyday work dynamic and varying how you work. Who doesn't know that after the lunch break comes the afternoon slump, here it can help to simply work standing instead of sitting.
Have you always wanted to test out a bar table, but your boss is more concerned with the appearance or the price? Then now is your time to test something to your liking.
There are a variety of ways you can stay active during your work hours. For those on a budget, there are various laptop risers that you can either place on your existing table or even use as a standing table.
Additionally, you can provide different surfaces for your feet to make your body even more alert. From the sensory doormat to the wobble board or the fascia ball, there are countless variations.
If you're looking for something more permanent and you have the space you need, then take a look at our height-adjustable desks, where you can easily switch from sitting to standing at any time.

3. Out of sight out of mind
If the workplace is relocated to your own four walls sooner or later, it is often difficult to lock out work after work. The same principle applies here as in the office - out of sight, out of mind. Try to stow away as many of your work materials as possible; documents, the laptop or even the office chair should be put away until the next use. To create closure like you normally do when you leave the office.
In order to keep things tidy, you have to create new storage space or find new organizational options. The keyboard and mouse disappear under the laptop holder, the documents and the laptop disappear into a drawer of the new rolling container or laptop bag.
If you use your workplace for something else after work or on the weekend, the office chair will quickly end up in the basement, attic or garage. Try to make your environment as work-free as possible and not be tempted to do something “just for a moment”.
Tip: Think outside the box! Don't feel like creating new storage space? Then work with what you have. The headset might look good on a jewelry stand or banana holder. The pens can be easily stored in an old, cleaned candle jar or cup.
4. Mobile Office is the new home office
Many companies have already announced this and are permanently relying on mobile office. Instead of home office, the focus here is on flexibility; you decide where you work from. Be it in your own home, on the terrace, in the café or at a colleague's house.
To ensure that you don't lack the necessary comfort, you have to keep a few things in mind. We recommend a wireless mouse and a spare charging cable to keep in your laptop bag. This way you'll never get into trouble if you end up with an empty battery.
Make your mobile office easier with a suitable laptop bag or backpack so you can always have your office with you. This means you can quickly store everything on the train or bike and work from anywhere.
Our laptop pads also put an end to the unsightly balancing of the computer and you even have space for your mouse. The documents offer extra compartments to store your cell phone, drink or tablet.
If you spend your working day on a long car journey, our medical seat cushions are ideal. These not only make the uncomfortable kitchen chair more comfortable but are also ideal for car seats.
