Relocation & Moving During Lockdown In Sydney (updated 2021)

MOVING DURING SYDNEY LOCKDOWN

We here at Mooving Matters we go out of our way to continually provide reliable and essential moving and relocations services. In the event of the state wide lockdown, we aim to make sure all the stress of a move during these trying times can be made as easy as possible, whilst also ensuring we are adhering to all the governments rules and regulations.

Please note: This was last updated on the 21st of July, 2021. 

Relocating and moving houses is something people usually dread doing. Most people who have done it, usually hate to go through it again. Being that we are in a global crisis right now with the covid 19, and with the situation it currently is in Sydney, fears are even greatly heightened than normal unfortunately. Currently there are new regulations in place that the NSW government have put in place, so these definitely need to be considered and addressed in terms of how this will impact your move. What Mooving Matters aims to do is to alleviate all the problems and stress associated with the move.

Currently the situation in Greater Sydney has unfortunately seen the numbers spike to over 100 a day, there or thereabouts. This has resulted in the NSW government issuing stay at home orders for most of Sydney, also including other such places such as Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Central Coast. The restriction will likely stay in place at leas until early August it would seem.

So, what’s the story now with moving? Are we able to move during the lockdown? And if so, are we breaking any rules? Read below to get some of the more common queries and questions we get regarding the lockdown, and what you can do to make sure your moving process during lockdown runs as smoothly as possible.

movers and packers sydney

Am I ABLE to MOVE DURING THE LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS IN SYDNEY? 

The short answer is “Yes” you are absolutely able to move during the lockdown. Moving or relocating to a new place of residence within Sydney is deemed and considered to be a valid reason to leave your home. This applies to people in greater Sydney, even though you are currently under lockdown laws where you are required to stay at home.

If you are still not sure, you can always double check on the NSW governments website to double check it for peace of mind. Go to https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/rules/greater-sydney#stay-at-home-rules for the most up to date information.

SO, what rules do the removalists have to follow? what can and CAN’T they do?

Currently all operating removalist companies have the green light from the government to continue to work and complete jobs in NSW. But the situation with the outbreak for covid 19 has resulted in certain precautions and measures to be taken into consideration. Mooving Matters has taken the necessary safety measures to adhere with the NSW governments guidelines regarding covid 19 rules. We aim to minimise the risk of the outbreak, by ensuring that all our staff are required to ear masks whilst on jobs, whilst at the same time also respecting the social distancing rules in place. We will determine the risks involved prior to us beginning your moving job, to provide a clear picture of what needs to take place.

What are the safety implications during the lockdown?

Mooving Matters will take all necessary safety measures in order to ensure that you the customer will get the correct move done that comply by all the necessary safety standards. We will conduct a safety plan before the move to give you peace of mind. We have the necessary safety equipment as well, so that the move will go as smooth as possible.

We have years of experience in getting your moving job done securely and efficiently. The government guidelines and rules will be followed to a strict tee, and all precaution will be taken in regards to the outbreak. Let us bring our year of experience to help you with your job.

What about my own stuff? Can I pack that?

Yes, you can. If you want to ensure that no one else touches your things unless absolutely you can pack your own belongs and look after anything you might deem important yourself. If there’s anything in particular that you don’t want us to move, just let us know before hand and we are happy to comply with your wishes. We offer a vast range of packing tools such as boxes should you need them, as well as bubble wrapping, and cartons a swell you it be needed. These materials are able to be provided on short notice, just let us know before hand so we can organise that for you. This can help to provide a cleaner move and help to minimise anything such as the bacteria passing on.

Can I get friends and family to help with the moving process?

At this stage, due to the NSW governments new rules it is not recommended you get your friends and family to help with the move. Under the current rules in place, it is not a suitable enough reason for your friends and family to take the risk and help out. If you can, enlist the help of the professionals and let us alleviate the headache of the move for you.

To get a quote for moving, packing and unpacking services, do you have to come for an IN-PERSON visit for the removalist quote?

This is totally up to you the customer. If you require us to come for a visit first to quote, then we will definitely see what we can do. Of course, every precaution will be taken in terms of a mask being worn and social distancing.

Should you require a quote online or over the phone, please either email us or call us on our phone number to enquire.

What can I do to make the move as safe as I possibly can?

If you can, not using boxes that already been used or recycled recently is a great way of ensuring that bacteria and organisms have not passed onto the boxes, therefore increasing the chances of the bacteria from spreading from person to person.

If the customers are experiencing sick like symptoms or are not feeling well prior to the move, we recommend you let us know as soon as you can. This way we can work together to come up with a solution. That may come in the form of us and the customer having to physical social distance at all times during the moves.

The last tip we would give would be to constantly washing hands to remove the germs, or be constantly using the hand gel to help against the bacteria spreading.

What will happen if the restrictions change and how will that affect my booking?

The covid 19 virus decisions can be very unpredictable as the situation changes every day. We will ensure that we will work together to accommodate your move at the earliest possible date should anything be altered. If something cannot be arranged, then we guarantee that a full credit will be applied to make up for your time.

Hoarder No More….8 Of The Best Decluttering Tips

Clutter and general mess seems to have a habit of increasing when we aren’t looking and least expect it. It accumulates subtly, away from plain view and without you even noticing it getting worse and worse. For hoarders, (or individuals with strong storing inclinations as a nice way of putting it), this mess frequently appears as junk, items that are often unusable, or just a collection of things that have in general gotten totally out of hand.

Become a hoarder no more, with these 8 tips to help with decluttering. But should you need any help with this, Mooving Matters can take the hassle and headache of decluttering away. We can solve this problem for you to make life easier. Mooving Matters services the North Shore of Sydney, Australia……anywhere from Wahroonga, to Pymble, all the way to Woolwich, Hunter Hill and even Drummoyne.

A hoarder’s house can sometimes be akin to a minefield. A lot of the time its not just a little messy, often or not its regularly hazardous, unsanitary, and, now and again, unacceptable for everyday living.

Below are 8 decluttering tips for those we refer to as hoarders that should help you get to a good start.

moving boxes Sydney

1. SEEK ADVICE FROM PROFESSIONAL MOVERS & PACKERS

Getting help for a hoarder can come in many different aspects. You should really start by seeking sound advice from professionals. Especially if you suspect someone or someone close to you is a hoarder. Having an expert, authorized guide on your side will permit you to deal with the pain of releasing things in a sound manner. This often comes in the form of getting sound advice from a qualified counsellor.

Once you’ve consulted a counsellor, you probably should find someone that the hoarder can trust to help bring the initial phase of dealing with the hoarding problem. This usually comes in the form of a partner, or perhaps a family member who can help ease with this transition.

Understanding this process can help a great deal to resolve the issue, and letting them know they have support will go a long way in the end.

2. PUTTING A STOP TO THE JUNK PILES

As previously mentioned, having the expectation that a hoarder should totally stop the collection of unneeded items is probably unreasonable and improbable, and can possibly blow up and result in a serious glut of shopping binges, which doesn’t help anyone. Changes should be implemented slowly, and gradually introduced to help deal with the matter at hand. We can’t just rip off the band-aid and expect things to change over overnight.

All things considered, in the event that you or somebody you love is a hoarder, the objective should be to try to free up your home of a bigger number of things than you get.

We should be trying to focus on getting rid of things that are deemed not essential. Focus on additional cleaning up days and fewer shopping days.

3. ITS OK TO TAKE SMALL GRADUAL STEPS

As previously mentioned above, we need to start with small gradual steps when you are dealing with a hoarder. For those of us out there who are “go getters” we may inclined to rush into it and employ the “cold turkey” method by simply forcing a declutter into their home and cleaning it up yourself. Doing so will likely result in a bad reaction from the hoarder, and they may fall into an even more rapid decline when it comes to their hoarding problems.

Instead try to implement a plan where you can start declutter the hoarders things slowly by slowly. Maybe start with decluttering a small section of a room. Then you can move onto decluttering each room one by one, in a gradual manner. Phase 1 can include decluttering their primary room first. Then maybe you can move onto the lounge room etc etc.

Look at it from a perspective that the first step will eventually lead to the last step. But we have to take the first step first, then only move onto the 2nd step when we are sure they are able to handle it.

4. MAKE IT EASY TO ADAPT BY SHOWING THEM A CLEAR PATH

The principal thing you ought to do while cleaning up a hoarder’s house is to make paths where they walk be very clear of any mess and clutter free. The key living areas within a house should be paid extra attention such as the kitchen, the bathrooms and also their bedrooms where they normally sleep. Its essential that we get the basics right and keep these areas clutter free so they can adjust at a faster rate. A potential safe route is essential in the house while cleaning up. All things considered, you will not have the option to clear the messiness until you can really get to the messiness

5. REMOVE THE UNWANTED USELESS GARBAGE FIRST

People that are trusted, such as family and friends can really be of benefit here and help alleviate the problem fast when it comes to a hoarder. The majority of hoarders have a serious problem when it comes to other people handling their items. Primarily they fear that their stuff will be disposed of without their knowledge, or possible be even taken without being informed.

The most important factor here is that you first ask the hoarder for their OK or permission for you to potentially get rid of non essential items. Items that really in the long run they don’t need at all. You can often find all sorts of crazy things that hoarders will collect over time, stuff that most people would consider rubbish.

This is a great gradual step to take, and often results in a small win for both sides, as the hoarder has given their consent. From here on in the decluttering process should begin to flow more easily, and we can start to concentrate on decluttering more bigger items, such as sentimental items the hoarder may hold dear to the heart, but ultimately really need to go.

6. KEEP THEM INTERESTED

The most ideal approach to keep them interested when cleaning up is to restrict the measure of time spent on each cleaning up session. It helps to slowly implement this with manageable tasks such as 20 minute cleaning sessions. Or 30 minute decluttering where you concentrate on one room first. This can be progressed on a daily basis, or perhaps 4 out of the 7 days for example.

Another popular method used is to take photos of different stages of the declutter. For example a before and after photo. This often results in extra motivation when the hoarder sees the progress they are making whilst gradually going about the completion of the task.

7. KEEP THEM ON TASK

Many people who have clutter problems usually also suffer from being able to concentrate for long periods and have attention deficiencies. Generally the average person will be able concentrate longer, hence we need to deal with these averages in a clever yet effective way.

Turning off common distractions such as the TV or mobile phones, can often go a long way to keeping them concentrated. This can help you stay the course at hand and get the task completed. Of often helps to only have 2 designated piles, a yes or a no pile. There is no maybe pile that should be allowed. We make a decision to either keep it, or dispose of it. The word maybe should not even be considered when dealing with a hoarder.

It’s a good idea once the hoarder has agreed to remove the item, that we do so immediately. Get rid of the item or items right away and get them out of the house so that the hoarder cannot see it and change their mind.

8. DON’T EXPECT OVERNIGHT RESULTS

Things don’t happen overnight when it comes to dealing with hoarders and the decluttering process. We shouldn’t expect it to happen right away, it’s a gradual process.

Try to get the hoarder to make small changes and give up on certain items in a gradual process. This should help them get over the process in a much more effective way. Last thing you want is them starting to 2nd guess themselves, and stumbling when they make decisions.

Save your back with proper moving lifting techniques

When you hire the services of a professional moving service such as Moving Matters, your packing, unpacking and moving specialists, you don’t have to worry about using proper lifting techniques. Proficient and able movers realise how to utilise the correct strategies to evade and avoid injury and to take care of the job at hand at a fast and efficient pace. Here’s a summary of the critical proper lifting methods when moving heavy objects without hurting one’s self or causing any damage to the residence during a move.

Have A Plan and safety In Mind First

Assembling a plan should be first and foremost on the list of things you need to do prior to packing and moving. An arrangement of some sort for moving is imperative to the accomplishment of the move. Prior to anything being lifted and moved into the truck on moving day, it’s critical to have a plan. Proficient movers do this each and every day and they generally set aside the effort to have an arrangement before they lift one single thing. So try and sort out a plan of some sort, as this can help save time and effort in the end.

If you intend to move items you need to ensure the following safety measures are in place before hand:

  • Keep exit paths clear. Make sure no trim hazards are present along corridors, and random items can seriously jeopardize your safety and the safety of others involved in the move. The paths outside your home should also be free of any debris, excessive dust, water, mud, etc.
  • Wear appropriate footwear. Wear appropriate and comfortable shoes – ones that will give you the best protection possible. Enclosed toe shoes with rubber soles that offer good traction and flexibility such as joggers or sneakers.
  • Ask friends for help. Lifting heavy furniture and packed boxes is not something you should do on your own as it can be a rather dangerous task. Ask good friends or family with no health or physical aliments to give you a hand when you need it the most. If your friends cannot come to the rescue, you must consider hiring professional movers to avoid unnecessary pain and injury in the near future.

It May Be A Good Idea To Stretch First

It’s almost critical you try and stretch before and prior to lifting. If you somehow happened to go to the gym often, you’d probably stretch as a piece of your warm up before you start your full exercise. Lifting is similar as an exercise and first goes a long way to preventing injury. Stretching is definitely worth the extra effort in partaking, and a good idea to make sure you don’t get injured.

What Exactly Will You Be Lifting During The Move?

Mooving Matters are extremely experienced in lifting items. Generally we will not move something without first knowing what we are lifting. It’s a good idea to first have an idea of what you are lifting. How heavy will it be? Will you be able to move it through the door? How will you get it through the door?

For example, even when we move boxes. Generally we will know first whats inside the box before we attempt to lift it. The contents of the box are important, and how fragile or heavy the items may be. These all play a part in the decision making process before we attempt to move an item.

The Importance Of Using the Proper Stance

Moving anything substantial requires the correct position prior to lifting. An athletic stance with your feet at shoulder-width length separated is ideal. One foot ought to be slightly further forward than the other, too. If you incorporate these suggestions, it should help a great deal in moving items.

Prevent Back Injury By Bending with Your Knees

The quickest method to become injured while lifting items is to lift with your back. This would be termed by professional movers as an unacceptable lifting procedure. Proficient movers will bend and twist at the knees to ensure their back is safe and does not get injured. Furthermore, they will keep their back straight, shoulders back, chest out, and keep your eyes fixated ahead while they are lifting and moving hefty and heavy items. Your back is something you want to look after in the long term, as injury to the lower back can be very expensive and painful.

Have a firm grip

Make sure you have a good grip on the heavy object before attempting to lift it. Wearing good quality work gloves will improve the grip significantly and at the same time protect your fingers and hands. Whenever available, use handles to reduce the risks of any accidents.

Carry items close to your body

While moving heavy boxes, for always try to keep them close to your waist line– as it is relatively centred in relation to your body. This is the best way to maintain your stability as the weight will stay close to your centre of gravity. It’s also a good technique to keep your elbows tucked in and your eyes looking forward at all times.

Move your feet, do not twist

No twisting and shouting necessary here! It’s very important not bend or twist your back when lifting and carrying heavy objects whilst moving. Rather than turning with your hips at the waist, try to move your feet to turn together with the load.

Move slowly and smoothly

Avoid doing any sudden and jerking movements that may place a great amount of pressure on a certain part of the body. Always take slow and gentle movements allowing your muscles and soft tissues in your body to have the time to process and adapt. Also, make sure your footing is as secure as it can be, taking only small and careful steps – one at a time.

Keep the load below waist level

Try to lift heavy items up to your waist. Never lift heavy things over your head, as you will put extra strain on your arm and back muscles. Weight distribution in such cases is critical, if the load you’re trying to lift over your head turns out to be more than you can handle safely and its weight is not distributed evenly, you could easily become injured.

Push rather than pull

If you’re using mechanical aid as a furniture dolly or placed sliders under the legs of super heavy furniture pieces, then be mindful that it’s safer to push heavy objects forward than to pull them backward. By doing so you’ll not only need less force to keep heavy items moving, but you’ll also be able to see what’s going on in front of you.

Don’t Be In A Rush

It is of the uttermost importance to remember before moving heavy objects that you’re not trying to speed up the process. Your goal is to prevent personal injury, especially back injury. While proficient movers need to take care of business on schedule and get the job done fast, they will not be in a rush while lifting and moving things into the truck or out of the truck. All things being equal, they will set aside the appropriate measure of effort to move everything securely without injury to themselves or hurting your valuable belongings. Allocating the proper amount of time, whilst still maintaining a proficient speed is of the utmost importance to us here at Mooving Matters. And we value your belongings and ensure nothing gets damaged. Maintaining the integrity of the customer’s possessions is always at the forefront of our service.

Likewise, proficient movers gradually lift with their legs as they keep their backs straight during the interaction. By lifting gradually, movers can assist with preventing injury, which could also lead to damaging your things, which we seek at all costs not to do.

Step By Step To Communicate

At the point when you enlist proficient movers for your private move, you will see they make little strides and small steps while moving substantial things. Communication is key to the process, and they will likewise speak with one another to guarantee things are moved appropriately without injury. It’s particularly critical to convey when two individuals are moving a bigger item together.

Moving can be perilous. Without the appropriate lifting methods, attempting to move large items on your own could prompt and lead to injury. At the very least you will end up extremely exhausted and probably conclude doing that yourself was absolutely not worth it all. There are no motivating factors to risk it and put it to chance.

All You Need To Know About Sydney’s North Shore

 Sydney’s North Shore has been compared to an Easy Listening radio broadcast station playing Golden Oldies from breakfast until the lights go out, while the remainder of Sydney rocks to similar moves nonstop.

What else would you anticipate from Australia’s greatest white collar class neighbourhood?

Probably not a colossal funfair, yet the key achievement over the Sydney Harbour Bridge is Luna Park, fantastic play region of youngsters from all over Sydney, site of thousands of birthday festivities, weddings, and corporate social events for people who like to celebrate with a spin. It’s a renowned milestone of amusingness that misrepresents the territory’s generally traditionalist notoriety. The North Shore has a beat the entirety of its own. An organization called Bridge Climb, for instance, thrills individuals with day by day moves up and over Sydney Harbour Bridge from whose most noteworthy point you can see the Blue Mountains toward the west and the Pacific Ocean toward the east.

Perspectives north are first hindered by North Sydney CBD’s high rises where lively publicizing and film-production ventures contend with the administrative centres of numerous conspicuous organizations. Fifteen minutes farther up the train line lingers the city-inside a city that is Chatswood. Seen from far off it is emphatically suggestive of Los Angeles’ transcending satellite of Century City.

The North Shore and its inhabitants have represented soundness, decency and white collar class proficient qualities for over 100 years now and as Australia’s greatest and most extravagant conurbation and are probably not going to consider evolving.

It extends from the Sydney Harbour Bridge arches as far as possible up the Pacific Highway and its equal railroad line to the suburb of Waitara, last stop in the city before the occasion towns of NSW’s Central Coast. Carefully “the North Shore” is actually the another way to say “The North Shore Railway Line” which runs from Lavender Bay’s Milsons Point Station.

The railroad and the thruway are the storage compartment of a tree that sends branch expressways east and west which while clearly not on the North Shore Line are in any case especially part of the territory known as The North Shore.

Disconnected rural areas toward the east are Kirribilli, Neutral Bay, and Cremorne; great spots to live, work and play on account of their nearby boutique and general store shopping and simple access to Manly and the brilliant breadth of the Northern Beaches.

For their friendly rise inhabitants and ever-diminishing independent householders, the principle selling suggestion is that their dominatingly city laborers are just a 15 – 20-minute ferry ride over a life-changing harbour which, following half a month, a great many people disregard with their heads covered in the first part of the day paper. On the other hand, they can arrive by transport in around 12 minutes, in spite of the fact that the best view one can expect is the rear of someone’s head in the seat before you.

Maybe remarkable in this no-train some portion of the world – known as the lower North Shore – Naremburn, Cammeray, Crows Nest, and Willoughby are among the couple of private rural areas that don’t have broad harbour frontages yet they have parklands, fairways, and playing fields in wealth.

North Castlecrag, Castle Cove, Middle Cove and Northbridge then again have plentiful shoreline whose numerous inlets and straights make these lovely rural areas with their energizing houses a fascinating route practice for Mooving Matters and their evacuation groups continuing on ahead. We generally arrive securely yet it’s a driving activity best portrayed as intriguing!

Toward the west Woolwich, the practically obscure selective urban villa of Northwood, Greenwich, Lane Cove, and the toward the west spread of the various on-line rural areas. All getting a charge out of a larger number of trees than individuals and incredible transport associations with one another and with the primary Sydney CBD pretty much than 35 minutes away relying upon area and season of day.

Driving north up the Pacific Highway takes you through North Sydney and a string of verdant rural areas with alluring neighbourhood strip malls of different sizes: Waverton, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Artarmon, Epping, Chatswood, Roseville, Lindfield, Killara, Gordon, Pymble, Turramurra, Warrawee, Wahroonga, and Waitara.

Of these St Leonards, only two or three minutes north of North Sydney, is its own one of a kind future city with high rise work environments outperforming the town. St Leonards is the home of one of Australia’s driving clinical centers, the Royal North Shore Hospital.

In the event that you’re into emergency clinics either considering the way that you need them or are basically excited about medical facilities, you’ll be happy to hear that the North Shore is especially furnished with clinical thought of various sorts. Similarly as Royal North Shore there is moreover a significant open emergency facility at Hornsby while the Mater Hospital at Crows Nest, on the edge of North Sydney, and the San Adventist Hospital, at Wahroonga, are huge private facilities.

Should none of these medical service offices work out for you then the Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium, at North Ryde, has held a special spot in the lives of North Shore families for over 80 years.

The well-to-do suburb of Gordon marks a sort of beginning post for the North Shore’s amazing verdant lanes and impressive homes with home costs being about the main things that are tall building. It’s likewise home to one of Sydney’s greatest bat populaces. Enormous numbers, extremely huge bats. They ascend in mists each night to scavenge for natural product thoughout the whole Sydney region.

The North Shore owes its slopes and rivers to its position riding low-lying seaside extends whose vigorously lush sandstone levels and valleys are forerunners to the Great Dividing Range that deceives the west. Ascending from the center of this now extraordinary private conurbation are the skyscraper pinnacles of Chatswood, a noteworthy retail, business and skyscraper loft focus whose shopping centers are among the greatest in Sydney with numerous national retailers and boutique stores drawing in customers from everywhere throughout the city.

Schools are critical to families moving to new homes and if there’s one help that the North Shore gives in bounty its training.

Each rural area has its own government funded school obviously and secondary schools of different levels are liberally appropriated all through the district. Be that as it may, it is the remarkable number of non-public schools – young men’s young ladies’ and co-ed – that grabs the attention.

Moving up the Pacific Highway toward the rear of our removalist van your things pass legitimately or inside a couple hundred meters of a portion of Sydney’s generally elite (read expense paying) schools for young ladies. Abbotsleigh and Pymble Ladies College, to name just two of the more unmistakable.

All have various distinguishing strengths; PLC maybe for its 50 hectares of private grounds. Show up at Gate No 1 and you travel a kilometer + to arrive at Gate 5. As of late named among the world’s main five, sending your girl there will cost you $27,900 in years 11 and 12. Include $23,300 on the off chance that she sheets.

Charge astute, Abbotsleigh with a simple 20ha is business as usual. Acclaimed all through NSW for its quality instruction, it is additionally associated with its late headmistress, Betty Archdale. She was Australia’s most candid school head and presented training for young ladies all through New South Wales while broadcasting her liberal views. She set a custom of freedom and candor that despite everything flourishes in North Shore women today.

In any case, it’s not just young ladies who profit by a wide decision of amazing schools in the region despite the fact that it’s intriguing to take note of that just one young men’s school, Sydney Church of England Grammar School (otherwise known as Shore), is an individual from the Great Public Schools Association which unashamedly would consider itself to be the cream of NSW’s young men’s schools. A case that would be fervently challenged by any number of adversary institutes your children would be glad to join in. Barker, Knox, St Aloysius … the rundown is long and recognized.

Garbs for the young men at a portion of their poshest (read tip top/restrictive/and so on) schools are overcoats and slacks besides, in a couple of cases, straw boaters la England 1898. State funded school young men for the most part wear whatever they like on their heads and appear to be not really any better or worse for it.

North Shore youth all appear to be in full sprout regardless of whether our moving vans are transporting them in or out of what is most likely Sydney’s greatest conurbation of white collar class families.

Brandishing offices, college schools, fairways in abundance – going from Killara Golf Club at $4300 to join and $4300-a-year to Gordon Golf Club where the general population can move up and play a round for just a couple of dollars.

Despite the fact that it’s well known for its abundance of amazing homes and manor houses, the truth of the matter is that most North Shore individuals live in normal Australian houses. Not very glimmering, however not very darn poor either. Whatever your job, we can handle! Huge or little, Mooving Matters moves them all, with the greatest of care, for all your needs for a removalist in North Shore of Sydney.

Setting Up A Productive Home Office

Since the recent Covid 19 pandemic and introduction of social distancing rules, working from home or WFH has become increasingly common place. In most cases employees have been able to carry out their job tasks successfully away from the office. As restrictions ease numerous employers and companies are now rethinking their office spaces and functionality, allowing many employees to continue to work remotely and having them come into the workplace less. On the other hand, for some WFH is the norm, a daily routine especially for those running their own business. Working from home offers many advantages, including the flexibility of setting your own schedule, time and cost savings by eliminating the daily commute, and for some the ability to set up a business with minimal overheads. Regardless whether you have a home office for doing personal finances, or are working out of the workplace or running a company, there are some essentials that need to be addressed in order for your home office to work productively. Mooving Matters are experienced and skilled at home organisation and they believe a well-designed streamlined and stimulating workspace in the home can achieve a much-needed work life balance. In this article Mooving Matters shed some light on how to minimise distractions and how to get your home office as productive as possible with the following home office planning and organisation tips.

Location – Choosing the right space for your home office

For many finding space to set up a home office can be a bit of challenge especially if space is limited. In that case its time to call on some creativity.

If you have the space the best option is to dedicate one room in your home to work, away from districting high traffic common areas. In this space you want the ability to:

  1. Close the door to reduce distractions.
  2. Draw mental associations of that space with your job, as this will make it easier to be more productive.

Unfortunately, your bedroom is not ideal. It is your place for rest and if you if you turn it into an office, your brain may find it hard to switch off and affect your sleeping patterns. If you do need to use your bedroom, avoid laying down on it during working hours.

People in small/share houses should dedicate a shared portion of the house to work, like an open office plan, in an area that is in a quieter zone of the house. The last thing you want t do is children, family or housemates interrupt or take over.

If you don’t have a guest bedroom or a space within a dining room then you could look to possibly set up a desk in a wardrobe or closet. This can be easily achieved by removing the clothes and hanging rod and possibly getting an electrician to add some power points if there are none nearby. The advantage of renovating your wardrobe is that you can keep the desk or workspace behind closed doors when not in use and it won’t take up a room or be out in the open.    

Ideally, your office should be in a quiet area that allows privacy when you need it. You might find that a spare room with a door can reduce noise from the rest of the house if you’ll be on the phone frequently. Your employer might require that you have a door that closes and locks for reasons of confidentiality. It could make sense to choose a room near the front entrance of the house if you’ll be meeting with clients in your home office. You might need a dedicated studio that’s separated from the rest of your home if you need space to layout your work or equipment.

Lighting – Natural and Artificial

It’s extremely important to have proper lighting in a home office and where possible to access natural light. A good way to ensure natural light is to place your desk directly near a window. Studies have shown that having exposure to natural light has numerous health benefits like reducing eye strain and is conducive to being more productive by helping to improve your mood, mental health and boost your immune system. If you cannot place your home office somewhere with access to natural lighting, then next best thing is to invest and install full-spectrum light globes. Even thou these lamp bulbs are more costly than your standard LED or fluorescents, they are much better for your health and eyesight as, they give off a crisper, brighter and whiter light closer to that of natural light.

With placement and installation of desk or task lighting to the work surface, ensure that you have sufficient lighting over your reading area, computer and behind you so that you don’t get reflections on the pc monitor.

Workspace furniture – functionality and Ergonomics

Your writing surface or desk and a comfortable task chair are 2 of the most imperative items you will need to be able to work efficiently and without causing any repetitive stress or injury to your body.

Work Surface – Whether you select a custom-designed desk or use two file cabinets with a tabletop over them, it should be large enough and the right height to comfortably do your work. If your space is limited, draw out a floor plan on graph paper and move the shapes around until you find a workable space. To make the most of the limited space, have shelving installed behind your desk so books and supplies will be easy to reach

A healthier more flexible worksurface is a “Sit to stand” desk, these are great as you can adjust the desk height if you don’t want to sit all day, some of these can be just be placed on top of an existing  fixed table or standard desk top.

Task Chair – The problem with sitting at a desk doing work all day is that it contributes to the sedentary lifestyle that over time has a negative impact to our health.

Humans were not designed to sit all day, and the long-term consequences include upper back, neck & shoulder pain, bad posture, and can contribute to more severe spinal or back injuries. A lot of medical research has shown that a sedentary lifestyle is a significant risk factor for developing non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer.

Standing for longer periods of time at a desk keeps you on your feet and is an effective way to burn calories. In fact, standing half the day at work has been shown to burn 170 more calories than sitting for an equal amount of time.

Once you have worked out your worksurface and if opting for a standard fixed desk, it is important to have a comfortable and ergonomic task chair. By sitting down it can add stress to the structure of your spine, so to reduce the development of back problems it is of great importance to have an office chair that really supports the curve of your spine and lumbar and helps form better posture. A well-designed chair and selecting the right chair for your body will let you sit in a balanced position.

When sitting at your desk there a few things you should remember and put into practice.  Your feet should rest flat on the floor with your thighs parallel to it. Sort your ergonomic chair out first, and then adjust your desk so it works with your elbow height, allowing your forearms to rest parallel to the floor.
