Before beginning to move furniture and position your office desk, check that you have adequate Wi-Fi strength to fulfil your role. Having your connection drop out mid-way through a conference call or right before an important email is due to be sent off is a sure-fire way to disrupt your focus.
You can check where in your house you have the strongest connection easily by searching for ‘Wi-Fi speed test’ on Google.
Be mindful that your internet speed will be influenced by how far removed you are from your router and how many other devices are connected to the network.
For the best connection possible keep your router away from devices that are known to cause interference (TVs and monitors, halogen lamps, electrical dimmer switches) or that work through wireless signals (baby monitors, cordless phones).
