A Breath of Fresh Air

Remember that scene in "Love Actually" when Colin Firth's character loses the pages of his freshly typed novel to a playful French breeze? Sometimes taking the office outside can seem more like torment than utilising the calming, inspirational effect of nature.

Equipment

The basics are likely already in the garden most wooden garden furniture sets, particularly sturdy teak garden furniture makes a perfectly adequate desk area. Although many garden furniture sets are furnished with cushions, relocating a few extras could help with back support and general posture.

The weather is certainly going to play a larger role in the work day. Odd are that nobody ventures out to work in the garden on traditionally drizzly British days, but rather on sunny, unusually fine afternoons.

The glare of the sun can be avoided by working under a shade or umbrella. Many wooden garden furniture sets come with a parasol, which is likely to provide satisfactory protection.

In the case of those unanticipated British gusts be prepared. Paperweights and clips are the friends of the outside work enthusiast.

Guidelines

Those well-versed in working from home understand the pitfalls and complications that come with the territory too many tea breaks, noisy kids, the urge to watch afternoon TV or finish the house work can be so tempting!

The importance of keeping home and work life separate is crucial. When working outside it's important to continue good habits like not answering the home telephone, working to a schedule and so on.

On the other hand, the number of home-working parents has been steadily on the rise for some time. Working outside can be a wonderfully efficient way to keep an eye on the kids. However strict rules should be set in place to discourage unnecessary interruptions and disturbances.

Taking frequent breaks, as in an office environment, is also recommended to keep up concentration levels and reduce eye strain.
