With a few key tips, it’s easy to create your ultimate workspace. Begin by making sure you get **the right tools for the job**. It’s all about quality, not quantity, so think about the important materials you use daily in the office and keep them close to hand. Rather than overcrowding your space, stick to the necessities, avoiding clutter and distraction. It’s also important to set up a **dedicated workspace**, a place that you can associate with work immediately. Separating work from your personal life helps you avoid distractions and creates a set space where you can really focus on the task at hand. Once you’ve created a workspace for yourself, treat it like one. You wouldn’t stroll into the office in slippers and jogging bottoms, so it’s important to treat your home workspace the same. **Make a plan**. Give yourself a ‘to-do’ list for the day, a timetable to keep you on track. Along with this, incorporate regular breaks to suit your work style. Breaks are essential as giving yourself set working hours and set breaks prevents you overworking and losing momentum. If you know when you are at your most and least productive, you can tailor your work schedule to allow yourself some free time when you would usually have a slump in the day. When you take a break, take yourself away from your workspace so that its only ever associated with focus. A change of scenery also helps your brain to function at its best. If you find yourself getting bored, **make yourself mobile** and go outside to work at a café or another appropriate space. It will keep your brain switched on, as long as you continue to make sure personal and work life are both kept distinctly separate. Finally, stay connected. Your mobile workspace **is an extension of your office** so there should always be an efficient communication channel with your colleagues to keep in contact. With Cryoserver’s mobile app, users can access all the same email data from Cryoserver’s [email archiving solution](https://www.cryoserver.com/email-archiving/) as if they were in the office. Furthermore, no emails will be stored or made alterable on user’s mobile devices, ensuring security. The device simply acts as a viewing platform, allowing fast search of emails past and present, high productivity and highest level protection wherever you work. ## Read *More* [ ![POPIA and Email Data: How to Comply Affordably](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1423592707957-3b212afa6733-cropentropycstinysrgbfitmaxfmjpgixidMnwxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDZ8fGxhd3xlbnwwfHx8fDE2MjkxMDczMjIixlibrb-1.2.1q80w2000.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093432&s=9e94475d6c46bfa10675878eaa7b7cd5) Sep 23, 2024## POPIA and Email Data: How to Comply Affordably ### If your business is based in South Africa, here’s what you need to know about the Protection of… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/popia-and-email-data-how-to-comply-affordably "Go to Story") [ ![How Does Email Archiving Help With Disaster Recovery?](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1485617359743-4dc5d2e53c89-ixlibrb-1.2.1q80fmjpgcropentropycstinysrgbw2000fitmaxixideyJhcHBfaWQiOjExNzczfQ.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093397&s=b38a298ff352b56b8f7d88624bd2d06e) Sep 23, 2024## How Does Email Archiving Help With Disaster Recovery? ### In the event of a disaster, every business must keep company operations running and recover quickly… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/how-does-email-archiving-help-with-disaster-recovery "Go to Story") [ ![Why Should You Migrate to a Cloud-Based Archiving Solution?](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1526072339703-f3253bc87fdc-ixlibrb-1.2.1q80fmjpgcropentropycstinysrgbw2000fitmaxixideyJhcHBfaWQiOjExNzczfQ.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093390&s=7507c17d6b0beec64fa8ac82b2b2beae) Sep 23, 2024## Why Should You Migrate to a Cloud-Based Archiving Solution? ### According to Statista, the cloud computing market is worth an estimated $236bn as its use has seen… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/why-should-you-migrate-to-a-cloud-based-archiving-solution "Go to Story") [ ![Remote Working and Email Trends](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1531547255897-f400dc1b7de2-ixlibrb-1.2.1q80fmjpgcropentropycstinysrgbw2000fitmaxixideyJhcHBfaWQiOjExNzczfQ.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093387&s=1692e1494bf28bc5f821911cdf3b11df) Sep 23, 2024## Remote Working and Email Trends ### The recent Coronavirus crisis has seen remote working come to the forefront of people’s minds.… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/remote-working-and-email-trends "Go to Story") [ ![Cryoserver Announces New Turkey Partnership](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1605581810011-c6d684e7ca22-cropentropycstinysrgbfitmaxfmjpgixidM3wxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDR8fHR1cmtleXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTA0MTMxNzV8MAixlibrb-4.0.3q80w2000.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093451&s=23df0b515ac85056705b98a8f268ea53) Sep 23, 2024## Cryoserver Announces New Turkey Partnership ### Cryoserver (UK) – Manufactures and supports “Advanced enterprise Email Archiving Software”Digitron… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/cryoserver-announces-new-turkey-partnership "Go to Story") [ ![GDPR: One Year On](https://cynical-zorilla.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/photo-1473186505569-9c61870c11f9-ixlibrb-1.2.1q80fmjpgcropentropycstinysrgbw2000fitmaxixideyJhcHBfaWQiOjExNzczfQ.jpg?w=1024&h=512&q=75&fm=webp&fit=crop&dm=1727093349&s=4589ac49de7391daec01e44cc18cbedb) May 01, 2019## GDPR: One Year On ### On May 25th 2018, the EU rolled out a new set of data privacy laws under the General Data… ](https://www.cryoserver.com/blog/gdpr-one-year-on "Go to Story")
