How to Make WFH Productive While Living in a PG in Delhi

Delhi, Oct 21,2020: The coronavirus pandemic has forced organizations worldwide to mandate Work From Home (WFH) for most of their employees and the capital is no exception. Working professionals in the city are adapting to the paradigm shift of working from home as opposed to an office setup. While the idea sounds great on paper, it can be quite taxing to carve a professional workspace in your living quarters. With a lot of young professionals sharing accommodation, it can be difficult to find your own quiet corner. If you are living in a PG in Delhi during these turbulent times, there are certain steps you could take to ensure smooth workflow and productivity.
Fix a SpotIdeally, your workstation should be in your living quarters and not in the designated common area. If your PG offers quiet and spacious common areas and you enjoy socializing a little as you work, you can set it up according to your comfort. However, you should remember that work is your priority and you have to customize your living space to simulate an office environment in terms of productivity which demands some quiet and peace. A work desk and a comfortable chair are absolute essentials. You can further deck up your workstation with pictures and stationery items without cluttering it up and a small lamp would definitely add to the ambiance.
Ventilation and UtilityIt is preferable to set up your workstation in front of a window or close to a balcony to keep yourself mentally refreshed. A well-ventilated and lit spot will stave off drowsiness and keep you cheerful and productive. It is also important to ensure that you have plug points close to your workstation to keep the workflow uninterrupted. An ideal spot should have good lighting, ventilation, and connectivity with ample space for you to pull your chair and stretch your limbs.
Privacy And DiscretionWhile your workspace should have a welcoming vibe, it should not feel very comfortable to others. Make sure you customize your workspace to fit your needs while maintaining a healthy distance from others for your privacy. If your work involves frequent calls and meetings, you should take particular care about background noise and select a spot away from the common area. You should also try and keep your workstation uncluttered and welcoming for higher productivity. Keeping yourself motivated can be difficult but well-maintained pg accommodations and hostels in Delhican be quite homely and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your work and productivity.
With remote and hybrid work models (rotational office shifts by employees) becoming the norm for the foreseeable future, a stable and productive work from home ecosystem is an immediate need. While it is difficult to work from home in a PG environment due to many distractions, a good PG should have enough privacy and space for you to find the perfect work-life balance despite being stuck because of the lockdown. Our living spaces now need to be redefined to cover everything from productivity enhancers (office-like amenities) to household management support (chefs, house help, maintenance people) so we can have an uninterrupted work environment. An enterprise-grade, stable WiFi connection that ensures smooth video calls, even if multiple people in your residence are using the bandwidth. Timely meals to keep you going. Sanitized rooms that you would love to work in. Support to manage bothersome household chores like laundry, cleaning, maintenance, etc so you can fully concentrate on work. All these can make a world of difference. That’s why a professionally managed accommodation can be a great place for both living and working with designated private and interactive zones to ensure maximum privacy and productivity while maintaining social interactions and collaborations.
