Open Plan Office
Do you, like many modern employees, have multiple
co-workers in the same office? Online Marketing
Services at DigiGround, believe that there are
advantages to working in an open-plan office.

Let your colleagues know
Are you engaged in a demanding project that
necessitates greater concentration than usual? If
you arrive at work in the morning and believe
that the environment is too casual and wont aid
in your concentration? Dont be afraid to let
your co-workers know about your pressing work and
to express your need for privacy. When informing
your colleagues about your work or project,
remember to be courteous.

Put your headphones on
If you are allowable, wearing headphones or a
sound-cancelling headset will allow you to create
your own bubble and soundproof yourself from any
conversations or movements in the open space.
Some people find inspiration in their favourite
songs, while others may prefer to listen to a
relaxing playlist. If you spend your day with
your headphones glued to your ears, make sure you
socialise during your regular breaks. Otherwise,
you might come across as distant or as if youre
avoiding everyone.

Switch on the silent mode
All we know is that mobile phones are becoming an
essential part of our lives, but we cant ignore
the fact that most people waste their time on
social media platforms such as Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. This is why
people are unable to concentrate on their work.
So, heres another tip that will come in handy
when youre working turn on silent mode on your
phone or turn it off completely.

Display a busy sign
It may not be practical to leave your desk every
time you require some peace and quiet. You can
still notify colleagues by putting busy status
on your Teams. Turn off your email notifications.
Block off your calendar so that anyone looking to
stop by and spend time with you knows youre
unavailable. Do whatever it takes in your
physical space and technological environment to
prevent access to you.

Take breaks
Even if you have a strong ability to focus,
navigating the open office is exhausting. You
will need to take breaks to recharge your
batteries. Set a timer to take regular breaks if
you tend to stay at your desk all day. Get some
water, walk around the floor, and be one of those
chatty co-workers to someone else!
