Tips for Working from Home & Navigating Work Space A

t the onset of COVID-19, more than 100 million Americans have been

ordered to stay home with several states issuing stay-at-home and shelter-inplace orders. This means adjusting to an entirely new structure of working, at least for now, for many who have never worked from home before.

As someone who spent 3 months of an internship (entirely remote) in an uncomfortable, temporary rental home as my family was waiting for renovations on our new home, I know that working from home can be a challenge and occasionally isolating. The way you utilize your space is the key to staying productive and sane.

Whether you’re navigating working in a tiny apartment with your partner, stuck at home with your kids, or working alone, there are certain ways for maintaining a schedule and structure so that you’re able to delineate your workspace from your home life.

every day, change into comfortable but put-together clothes other than your robe or pajamas, and take a brief lunch break away from your desk.

One of the most important factors is having a dedicated workspace. Having a space you go to each day will help you get in the right mindset to focus on the tasks at hand without getting distracted.

Especially those who live in a cramped apartment with two roommates or even a spouse.

Companies like IKEA, Amazon, and Target offer “small space” desk options like wallmounted, floating, lap, and standing desks to accommodate small home living so you won’t be stuck working on your bed or couch.

CULTURE

T

aking a short break away from work will allow you to distance yourself, and then feel recharged once you get back, preventing burnout and further feelings of claustrophobia.

Along the lines of following a work schedule, John Fitch & Max Frenzel, co-authors of Time Off Book, suggest that we calculate the amount of time we normally have to commute and use that time as our “rest” allowance.

If you usually had a 30-minute subway ride or drive, that time was probably spent preparing for the day ahead.

Take 30 minutes to do a relaxing ritual—whether it’s yoga, stretching, video chat with friends/family or catching up on the news.

For parents with kids at home, NPR recommends making a plan for education and environment. With schools shut down, it’s advisable to not regroup children, so don’t plan on any playdates.

Technology can serve as a learning tool and distraction by doing “virtual” playdates via FaceTime and services like Roblox, which allows children to chat while playing a game together.

In these uncertain times, the news and navigating home relationships can serve as distractions and even triggers for stress and anxiety. Finding ways to break up the monotony and learning to cohabitate in your space will allow you to be more productive and happier each day.

Sustainable Home Designs Taking Over

1.

Natural Materials A serene environment is easily achievable with the use of natural materials like wood, stone and concrete. These materials lay the foundation of an organic landscape evoking a calming energy. With wood, veer towards lighter shades to create an open and airy space that reflects light. Concrete accents work well to add a flourish of a naturalistic look without going for the obvious with concrete flooring or fixtures. While using stone for countertops or walls reflects a modern twist to a room’s appearance.

56

Green is in - and that’s one design trend everyone seems to be in agreement with. Environmental conscientiousness is at the forefront of almost every discussion and interior design is capitalizing on the opportunity to infuse nature-friendly aspects into the home. We’ve rounded up the top sustainable home designs popping up.

Earth Tones

Gone are muted tones and taking its place are earthy hues. Saturate your home in shades of yellow, brown and red. The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere with the popular colors showing up everywhere.

3.

Living Walls The popularity of decorating with plants has exploded with plants of every kind being used to inject natural elements in the home. Taking things a step further, is the “living wall.” This vertical garden - if you will - is great to add a unique design feature to the home. If you’re short on space, this is a creative way to use greenery in your design plans without creating clutter. Yet this design trend goes beyond aesthetic - the functionality of this design is it improves air quality and improves health.

4.

Green Roofs Another trend that strengthens the move to biophilia is creating green roofs. A slew of luxury buildings opening up in hot ticket locations like New York City, Dallas, Chicago and Miami have been quick to adopt the trend. Like living walls, green roofs offer practical benefits. They are much more durable than standard roofs and more energy efficient.

5 Reasons Why Real Estate

Can Be Your Solution in 2021 The impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the economy of the entire world shows that you need to find a way to invest your money so you never suffer great losses. A great way to do this is by investing in the real estate market. The real estate sector is gearing up for a post-pandemic boom. With sales, demand, and prices skyrocketing, it’s a good idea to plan towards investing in real estate in 2021.

When considering making a real estate investment, you need to know the reasons for taking that step. You need to know the options you have before making your move.

These are 5 great reasons why real estate could be your financial solution in 2021.

FIX AND FLIP

This term has gained popularity through reality TV shows. It is also commonly known as house flipping. “Fix and flip” is used to describe the buying of outdated homes at low prices by a real estate investor. The investor then renovates the home and sells it to another buyer at a higher price. Experts predict that house flipping will yield a lot of profit during the course of 2021.

If you’re looking to make a lot of money within a short period, the fix and flip strategy is quite effective. However, it is also possible to suffer huge losses if it isn’t done properly.

It is important to do proper research and get the relevant knowledge to ensure your success.

WHOLESALING

Real estate wholesaling is a great option if you’re looking to have faster turnaround times in your deals. Wholesaling involves an investor searching for homes that could be sold for less than their normal value. When the necessary purchase contract details are settled and signed with the seller, the investor looks for an end-buyer to whom he gives the contract, but at a higher price. The wholesaler (investor) will take the difference as his share, while the original seller is paid the amount agreed upon.

If you want to go into real estate wholesaling, you need to understand the laws that apply in the area of interest. In some jurisdictions, only licensed agents can be paid commission in deals concerning real estate.

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

BUY AND HOLD

This is exactly as the name implies. Buy and hold involves an investor acquiring real estate property and holding on to it for an extended period of time. The reason for this is simple -- appreciation. The investor waits for an increase in the property’s market value, so it can be sold for a return on investment (ROI). Renting out the property while “holding” could also help generate income to cover recurring expenses. Experts in thesis or dissertation help say this is a very popular strategy among middle-age students.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS

Sometimes, you don’t need to actually own property physically to go into real estate investment, and REITs are a perfect way to do that. The main function of REITs is to make profit through proper management of real estate properties. You could invest in such firms and gain partial ownership through investing in their shares. This way, you can get income from the shares as well as sales profit.

With studies showing that home prices are expected to increase in 2021, buying and holding is a great idea. If you’re considering this, it’s best to make sure you invest in a location where appreciation and income gain are highly likely.

RENTAL PROPERTIES

Rental properties are a great way to enter the real estate investment market. This is a long-term type of investment in which an investor buys homes and then rents them out. If you rent the home out at a rate that is greater than what it costs to maintain the property, you are set to enjoy good profits from this strategy. It is almost a given for the property to appreciate as time goes on, and you can even purchase more properties by leveraging its equity.

The major obstacle to acquiring this kind of property is that you may need huge capital to purchase it. However, you could consider meeting lenders who could assist you.

Owning actual physical property is a much bigger risk than buying shares in REITs. However, the profits from REITs are much smaller, and the cost of investment may be higher.

The Bottom Line

There are a lot of reasons to go into the real estate sector. As a prospective real estate investor, you need to be mindful of your objectives and budget. Do your research, study the market and make your choices wisely.
