We are in February and you have not yet considered new purposes at the beginning of the new decade? We are here to help you.

It is 2020, a rounded year, great to raise new goals to help us achieve success! To do this, it is important to be motivated, have attitude and patience, as we can not achieve all in the short term.

From Espai114 we believe that having a few established purposes can be a help to improve as a work team. So we leave a series of proposals that you can apply this 2020 to reach the success of your company:

1. Pooling. After each working day, where different situations and issues arise, it is good to do an analysis. The best way to do this is to bring together the team the last 10 minutes and to share all the incidents that may have arisen to draw solutions or conclusions and thus establish a plan of action if they come back or take steps to avoid them.

 

2. Active breaks. It is true that to work well you must be eager and motivated, but we must also have energy. The performance of a worker depends very much on their mood and their physical state. It is important and necessary to make a series of breaks during working hours. Putting ourselves in situation, if the worker has spent several hours sitting in front of the computer, it would be advisable to make a 5-minute exercise routine to activate the movement of the legs, fingers and eyesight, for example, since they will have been the more used body parts. Here we leave you some examples.

 

3. Group objectives. We know it’s important to set goals correctly to fulfill them, but it is even better to be all satisfied during this process. Creating common goals for the whole team, we can get members to help each other and not have misunderstandings or other uncomfortable situations created by rivalry. This way we will achieve a more comfortable work environment.

 

4. Afterwork. The relationship that is created between workers during working hours in the company is not the same as in leisure situations with friends. Usually, discussion issues that emerge do not create a great bond between workers. A great purpose can be doing afterworks every month or a few times a year; meeting with all the colleagues in a different space than the office. For example, our Espai114 Room is perfect to carry out this meetings and to carry out different activities to disconnect from the work and to create a good climate among colleagues.

 

5. Coworking. If you are self-employed and working from home, you will know that sometimes it is difficult to organize a specific timetable to focus on the work and, if achieved, often unexpected distractions emerge that make it very difficult to focus completely on what we are doing. The easiest and most effective way to solve this is to work in a coworking space. These types of spaces provide you with all the comforts you need to develop your work along with a common working environment that helps you to concentrate on your projects.

We could expand the list with many other purposes for this year 2020, but we believe that these are targets for increasing workers wellbeing that will help you improve your company’s performance.

Many freelancers and entrepreneurs need a space to work, but they cannot afford it. Coworking is the solution for these independent professionals, putting in their service spaces where they can develop their ideas. Not only that, as the word“Coworking” says, it is about cooperating with others and getting more out of ideas among all.

Our coworking space,located at Calle Mercé, no. 1, in Badalona, is a comfortable, professional and cozy area with a pleasant atmosphere among workers, a very important factor to achieve a high performance at work.

In order to promote this good coexistence, we detail a series of guidelines that it is recommended to follow if you want to make the most of your experience in coworking.

 

How to maximize our performance in a coworking space?

ATTITUDE

– Respect. There will be many workers from various areas, therefore the profiles will be very different.

– Cooperation. Offer and accept any help if you need it.

– Noise. Avoid speaking too loud or making annoying noises to others. Remember, it’s a common space.

– Headphones. Don’t make the audio volume of your devices within everyone’s reach.

– Calls. If you have to talk on the phone, isolate or go outside.

– Behaviour. We must all behave well, if someone else does not have it, warns those responsible for the space.

– Schedule. Respect the hours assigned to meetings, breakfasts, etc.

– Internet. Make rational use of the common network, don’t collapse it with video games or other topics that have nothing to do with work.

– Furniture. Take care of the space like you’re at home.

Hygiene

– Order. Pick up everything you’ve used and return it to your place of origin.

– Cleaning. If an object is dirty, wash it.

– Waste. Do not use the floor or desk as garbage.

– Food. Each space has its own rules, don’t eat where it doesn’t play.

Sustainability

– Lights. Turn off any that aren’t needed.

– Equipment. Turn them off or set the “suspend” mode to save.

– Paper. Recycle, use leaves on both sides and manage their use.

We currently have free workspaces in our coworking. If you’re thinking about it… now is the time to try it!

With the return to the after-summer routine also returns the puzzle of preparing the takeaway to the office every day Coworking or, failing that, eating every day out with the expense that this entails and the consequent mismatch in our food. Because we already know that in the restaurant we usually ask for what we want most instead of what our body needs.

 

Preparing our own takeaway to work only gives us advantages; it is more economical, healthier and allows us to create a routine following better defined dietary guidelines.

 

That’s why today we explain how to organize when preparing the meal, and we provide you with a weekly menu with which you will not have to worry about improvising every day and with which we assure you that you will eat rich and healthy from Monday to Friday.

 

Also, to make it even easier for you, we recommend that on one day, on Sunday for example, you prepare most of the dishes that you will take to the office so that the effort you have to make during the week is minimal.

This useful planning method today is known as Batch Cooking and it will help you save a lot of time and energy.

 

How to organize a weekly menu?

 

In order to prepare weekly tuppers correctly, we must consider the following aspects:

• If possible, we should avoid repeating recipes. An unchanging menu can stop you from including tuppers in your diet, try to prepare varied meals that include all the necessary nutrients. This means that our dishes must include pasta, rice, cereals or legumes, accompanied by meat, vegetables or fish.
• Presentation matters. Food enters through the eyes, and if it’s appetizing and attractive, it’ll be easier for us to eat at ease.

 

For the elaboration of the following menu we have followed the dish method. According to this method, for a meal to be balanced it must be formed a 50 per vegetable,a 25 per proteinand the remaining 25 for carbohydrates. Starting from this base, here are 5 balanced meals that you can easily take in tuppers to the office:

 

MONDAY	Grilled vegetables (asparagus, peppers, eggplant…) + Hummus + Rice
TUESDAY	Salad + Grilled salmon + Microwave-spiced Potatoes
WEDNESDAY	Salted mushroom + with chicken + pesto pasta
THURSDAY	Zucchini cream with potato+ Prawn scramble
FRIDAY	Lentils salad with brown rice

 

 

In addition, taking a few nuts (nuts, almonds, pistachios…) or some piece of fresh fruit will help you complete your meal. And finally, don’t forget to accompany it with plenty of water!

 

More and more people are preparing takeaways to the office, and after reading these tips we expect you to be one of them. Are you still eating out, or are you one of those who take the food to Coworking?
