Creating a functional home office 🖥️
✨ Working from home can be tough, but a functional workspace is a game-changer! Whether you're full-time remote, balancing office and home, or need a spot for personal tasks, a functional and inviting space is key.
🌟 Start by finding the right spot in your house. It’s not about size but making the most of what you have. Turn an oversized bedroom into a multi-purpose room. For productivity, natural lighting is vital, so place your desk near a window and add a desk lamp for those late-night work sessions.
🖥️ Choosing the right desk is crucial. Choose a simple design with just the essentials on display. Keep your space fresh by changing art and decor regularly, adding a rug for warmth, and bringing in plants.
🪑 Don’t forget a relaxing spot in your office like an armchair for reviewing documents.
🗂️ Stay organised! A tidy desk boosts focus. Use a locker cabinet for essential files and digital folders for everything else. A weekly clean-up keeps clutter at bay and sets you up for a productive week.
Have fun creating your home office space 🤗

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
