5 Tips to Create a Productive and Peaceful Home Office with Geoffrey

For the working Oaklanders who haven’t been mandated to return to the office, working from home has its benefits, but it also brings unique challenges, from cluttered spaces to noisy distractions.

As business owners, my husband and I (along with our furry supervisors 🐶🐶) have been working from home since the pandemic. So we get how important it is to have an organizes space and home to stay productive.

Research shows that your environment plays a critical role in your productivity and mental well-being. For example, the American Psychological Association found that clutter can lead to increased stress and difficulty concentrating, while clean, organized spaces promote clarity and focus.

If you’re a remote worker struggling to balance productivity with a peaceful home life, here are five essential tips—and the Geoffrey services that make them possible—to create a workspace that fosters productivity and peace.

1. Declutter and Organize Your Space

Research by Princeton University Neuroscience Institute found that physical clutter competes for your attention, reducing focus and increasing stress. A well-organized workspace is essential for maintaining a clear mind.
