🌟 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 🤗

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?

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.

The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.
People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.
Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.
We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.
Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.
There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.
Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
