More and more people are working from home these days.
And while there are many perks to working from home, it can sometimes be hard to focus on the task at hand when you’re not in a work frame of mind. That is where whiteboards have the magic touch. They are the ultimate tool to keep you organised while working from home.
We have pulled together our top reasons why:
1. Manage daily tasks
Most people find having their daily tasks clearly visible helps to keep them on track. There is less risk of procrastination and avoidance if the tasks are clearly displayed in front of you. That is where whiteboards shine. Having daily tasks written on a dry wipe board keeps you constantly aware of the tasks at hand and more likely to complete them. Then there is the satisfaction of wiping them off once the task is complete. Unlike an electronic task list, whiteboards are always visible, and can’t be closed or switched off. And for many, the physical act of writing the task down, means you are more inclined to complete the task.
2. Display important information
Many whiteboards have a dual purpose; they are usually also magnetic. This means it’s easier to attach important information to your whiteboard that may link to current tasks or projects. And letters, receipts or paperwork relevant to your job which require immediate attention, rather than filing away, are better off displayed on your magnetic whiteboard rather than creating clutter on your desk. You can better organise all the elements and keep them alongside your task list to ensure everything is neatly together in one convenient location.
3. Useful reminders and messages
In addition to managing work tasks, whiteboards are a great way to display reminders and messages to yourself, or even your family or work colleagues. If you are wanting to communicate with other members of the household and you are unable to do so verbally, a simple message written down or attached with a magnet is the next best thing. And when the reminder or message is no longer required, you can simply dry wipe it away or remove from the board.
4. Perfect for proposing ideas
If you find yourself stuck in your head, not knowing where to begin, whiteboards are the perfect tool to get all your ideas down in one place. They are the perfect mind map tool! It can be much faster to write ideas down than order them electronically, and as you go through the process, you can easily adapt and reorganise your thoughts. And when some things are no longer relevant and you can easily remove, or reposition.
It’s ideal for designers if drawing up sketches or studies, and reduces paper waste as ideas mould over time.
5. Inspirational
If you find yourself lacking motivation or inspiration whilst working from home, dry wipe boards are the perfect place to write motivation words or quotes to help you stay focused. By simply having the words ‘you can do this’ or ‘keep calm and carry on working’ your mindset can be transformed and your work much improved. And you can easily change it to have a new quote every day, week or month!
6. Contact information
If you are working from home, you might find you are talking to people more on the phone. Whiteboards are the perfect place to write down key phone numbers to save on time scrolling through your phone in those emergency situations. You might also find you need username and passwords to connect to people online – again it’s ideal to have thee written down for ease rather than trying to sift through emails to find the correct information.
