Whether you’re a remote worker, freelancer, or simply mixing business with leisure, making the most of your workstation requires a strategic approach to balance work and relaxation. In this blog, we’ll explore practical tips to help you stay productive and maximize your enjoyment during your workstation in serviced accommodation
Designate a Dedicated Workspace
Murphy Stays serviced accommodation and apartments provide a designated workspace for guests. This could be a quiet corner in your room or a cozy desk area, where you can set up your laptop, notebooks, and any other work essentials. Having a designated workspace helps to create a clear boundary between work and leisure, allowing you to focus better and switch off when needed.
Set a Schedule and Stick to It
When you have the flexibility to choose your work hours during your workation, it’s crucial to establish a schedule that aligns with your productivity peaks. Define your working hours and try to stick to them consistently. Planning your work blocks will allow you to allocate ample time for leisure activities, exploring the local area, or spending time with fellow traveler
Leverage High-Speed Internet
A reliable and fast internet connection is a non-negotiable requirement for a successful workstation. Ensure that your serviced accommodation provides high-speed Wi-Fi, so you can seamlessly attend virtual meetings, download/upload files, and collaborate with colleagues or clients without interruptions. We also provide the fastest Wi-Fi in our short term accommodation
Prioritize Your Tasks
Effectively manage your workload by prioritizing tasks. Identify the most critical assignments and focus on completing them during your most productive hours. Utilize task management apps or to-do lists to stay organized and on top of your responsibilities.
Take Regular Breaks
Remember, workations are not just about work; they are meant to be refreshing experiences. Incorporate short breaks into your workday to recharge and maintain productivity. Go for a walk, stretch, or indulge in a quick meditation session to clear your mind.
Set Boundaries with Co-Travelers
If you’re traveling with friends or family, communicate your work schedule and let them know when you need uninterrupted time. Setting boundaries and managing expectations will prevent unnecessary distractions and foster a harmonious workation for everyone.
Explore the Local Area Wisely
While work is a priority, don’t miss out on exploring the wonders of the destination. Schedule leisure activities during non-working hours, and make a list of local attractions, restaurants, and cultural experiences you want to try.
Conclusion
A workstation in serviced accommodation is a fantastic opportunity to blend productivity and relaxation into a seamless experience. By creating a designated workspace, setting a schedule, and leveraging the amenities available, you can maintain a high level of productivity while still enjoying the pleasures of your destination. Remember to find balance, take breaks, and explore the local area to make the most of this unique and enriching workstation adventure. Enjoy the journey!
