Must Have Office Supplies to Keep You Productive In the Office
When looking for an office space, what’s most important to you? Location, cost, and size are all important aspects to consider, but what about making your office functional and comfortable? The traditional cubicle-style office has phased out. Now companies and shared office spaces alike are vamping up amenities and work stations to make workers more comfortable and more productive. Unsure of which tools you’ll need to be productive each day? We’re here to help.
Computer Charger
How many of us have gotten to a café, meeting, or workspace and realized we’ve forgotten one of the most essential tools in staying productive? Computer chargers give our computers the necessary juice they need to access files, emails, or documents we need to accomplish any number of projects we have. When you’re done using your computer and charger at night, pack them in your backpack, purse or laptop case so you can grab and go in the morning when you head out.
Phone Charger
Whether you’re in sales, social media, or another role, the likelihood that you’ll need your cell phone during the workday is high. The last thing you want to experience is cutting out of an im-portant conference call because your phone ran out of battery. Keep a phone charger in your laptop or work bag at all times in case of an emergency power loss. This way, you’ll never have to stress about being out of the loop.
Snacks
Admit it, you get hangry just like everybody else. How many times have you worked throughlunch, only to realize that you end up frustrated later in the day? For many of us, making lunch every morning is unrealistic, and food delivery takes time and can break the bank. Not all of us have the ability to take an hour for lunch. If you’re looking to avoid the lunch hour dilem-ma, look into shared office spaces. Novel Coworking offers amenities like a kitchen and honor bar with healthy snacks, allowing you to leave food at the office ahead of time and prepare it when you reach that hangry point.
Access to Mailbox
If you operate your own business, are a consultant, or do any other type of freelance work, hav-ing a concrete mailing address is essential in giving your business credibility. Having an address also allows you to receive official documents for your business such as bank statements and le-gal docs. Shared office spaces are a great way to establish your business, even if you do not rent out an actual space. If you want your business to come across as legitimate, you’ll want to scrap using your home address and instead use a business address.
Internet
In today’s day and age, operating a business without internet seems next to impossible. Having a high-speed connection is essential for any number of essential daily tasks, ranging from re-search to social sharing to answering emails. Novel Coworking offers 100mbps fiber internet as well as WiFi throughout. If you are working somewhere other than your shared office space, be sure that place has internet or that you have your own reliable hotspot to bring internet with you.
