""There are issues around how it impacts performance," she says. "For example, if you feel that you are going to a specific area in your house, then there's a psychological impetus to almost feel as if you're going to work. "You can take a break away from that desk and, importantly, at the end of the work day, you should be able to ideally walk away from that.""
""Because the hardest part about working from home is the fact that whenever you walk past, if you can see the office space you think 'oh, I've got to go and do that email' or 'I'll just write that report'," she says."
Working from home remains very popular in Australia. A designated workspace or workstation supports performance by creating a psychological impulse associated with 'going to work' and enables clear boundaries. The ability to take breaks and to walk away from the desk at the end of the day reinforces separation between work and home life. Workstations that can be visually or physically shut off, such as fold-away or wall-mounted desks, help prevent constant task urges. Placement should avoid high-traffic areas. Planning should consider the type of work, household members' impact, and ergonomic needs.
