Creating a functional home office 🖥️

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

✨ Working from home can be tough, but a functional workspace is a game-changer! Whether you're full-time remote, balancing office and home, or need a spot for personal tasks, a functional and inviting space is key.

✨ Working from home can be tough, but a functional workspace is a game-changer! Whether you're full-time remote, balancing office and home, or need a spot for personal tasks, a functional and inviting space is key.

🌟 Start by finding the right spot in your house. It’s not about size but making the most of what you have. Turn an oversized bedroom into a multi-purpose room. For productivity, natural lighting is vital, so place your desk near a window and add a desk lamp for those late-night work sessions.

🖥️ Choosing the right desk is crucial. Choose a simple design with just the essentials on display. Keep your space fresh by changing art and decor regularly, adding a rug for warmth, and bringing in plants.

🪑 Don’t forget a relaxing spot in your office like an armchair for reviewing documents.

🗂️ Stay organised! A tidy desk boosts focus. Use a locker cabinet for essential files and digital folders for everything else. A weekly clean-up keeps clutter at bay and sets you up for a productive week.

Have fun creating your home office space 🤗

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

Hi all, I thought I would share my resent on line part time job inquiry experience,
after applying for it , I was contacted by phone, to find I would be paid
to make false star ratings for products I would never get to see or use,
this made me angry as I use star rating for all I buy on line, the on line company was Darty. just thought I'd share that. I'm sure it comes under fraud.

Retirement in New Zealand is evolving as people live longer, healthier lives, and the number of Kiwis who choose to continue working later in life is rising.

Retirement is your time to do what you love. Maybe for you this doesn't mean stopping work altogether; instead, it can mean shifting gears to something more fulfilling or pursuing passions that you now have time for. This might mean volunteering, part-time work, or even starting your own business.

Here’s some helpful advice from Ryman residents in the workforce.
