Create a Professional Backdrop. Video calls and teleconfer- ences have made individuals more aware of the space they are working in and presenting to their clients or colleagues. Tastefully displayed items such as plants, diplomas, books, or art can project a professional aesthetic. Avoid positioning yourself while on a video call in front of clutter or a window without the blinds or shades drawn. The clutter can be a distraction and natural light in your background can conflict with your computer or web cam lighting adjustments.
Declutter Your Space. An unkept workstation can be distracting and reduce your productivity if you spend time trying to look for items in and around your desk. One of the biggest items of clutter in a home office is paper, so a simple filing solution can clear some of the space. Keep the top five items you use on a daily basis while you’re working from home within reach. If you have too many items, it might be time to get a bigger desk or relocate your workspace.
