Understand how to improve productivity at work, throughout this article we will give you some tips. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Home Office has become the new reality for many professionals and students around the world. This is your chance to do all tasks in the comfort and autonomy of your own home. What could be better than that?

Home Office also has its cons, but a simple solution that facilitates most situations is the application of the 5S program, or 5 Senses as they are known.

The 5S is nothing more than a business methodology that, when applied correctly, can help you organize, clean, and use the right resources to help you eliminate waste, stay healthy, and even increase productivity.
The concept of this approach breaks with an old paradigm used by many people, many of whom have long been performing the same function: "my mess is organized," or "I find myself in my mess."

To make you more productive in Home Office, we have prepared a scheme of the 5 Senses to help you.

1. Sense of Utilization: Order your environment

The first phase of our 5S program, although simple and easy to follow, is very important to continue to the next phase. To start the process, we must first analyze our work environment and reflect on the usefulness of the resources we have.
To reduce possible distractions and increase our productivity, we must understand what we really need in our daily lives, and if it is unnecessary, move it away from where we use it for work.

2. Sense of Organization: Organize your space

After choosing only the materials that are useful for our productivity, it is time to find the perfect layout for your office. This movement is a bit more complicated than the previous one precisely because we do not follow a pattern, but because we test different positions and positions of each piece to see which is its best position.
Organization is very important for the practicality of our mission to make everything accessible and have a defined place, avoiding wasting time looking for documents or important pieces for each task.

3. Sense of Cleanliness: Clean and avoid dirtying

At this stage, it is important not only to clean the environment but also to maintain it. It is time to educate ourselves not to dirty and take care of everything that is our responsibility.
Having a sense of cleanliness means being careful, eliminating dirt to keep the environment clean. The most important thing is not the act of cleaning but the act of not dirtying. In addition to cleaning, we need to identify sources of dirt and their respective causes, so that we can block them.

4. Sense of Standardization: Standardize your healthy practices

It is in this sense that the old 3S will be incorporated into daily practice in your work or study environment, following a healthy pattern of order and cleanliness.
The term "well-being" represents our ability to evaluate and standardize health practices, not only physical health but also mental, financial, and environmental health.

5. Self-discipline: Make these attitudes a habit

The final stage of a 5S plan is defined only by the commitment to the previous steps. Even though it was created for the common good, this awareness is constituted by the moral and ethical standards of each individual, with the responsibility to comply with health standards.
It can be noticed that this stage is carried out when these tasks are performed uniformly, even in the absence of a control mechanism.
These are the definitions of each of the 5 senses and how they are so efficient in the virtual environments we go through.
