IMPROVING YOUR WORKSPACE AND LIFESTYLE

IMPROVING YOUR WORKSPACE AND LIFESTYLE By: Silvina Macagno Jane wakes up in the morning, stumbles out of bed and moves over to her desk to start her workday. The advantages of working from home, at its best. Checks her 147 emails and goes into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, only to see she is out of coffee, so she starts her grocery list. As she heads back to her desk, she gets a call, a telemarketer, who distracts her further. Now she forgot what she needed to accomplish today and turns on the TV only to see a special report has stopped the daily programming, the cat is stuck on the tree and there are 55 police cars on the scene, SWAT, FBI and 15 news helicopters. The advantages of working from home. But she remembers, she has to meet potential clients today and she is still in pajamas, toys all over the floor and clean laundry on the dining room table. Where will she meet them? What type of image will Jane portray? And with all the distractions, she was unable to finish her presentation. John lives in the suburbs and woke up at 5am, went running, got back home took a shower, put on his Armani suit and by 6:30am was on his way to the office in his new Mercedes. If he is lucky, he will be at work by 8:45am. His gasoline bills almost equal his car lease, and he spends twenty hours a week stuck on I-95. He gets to the office, his secretary has called in sick, her pinky nail broke and she has an emergency appointment with her manicurist. Now he needs to print a report and there is no paper, so he must make trip to his office supply store. He spends all day in the office, on the internet and with conference calls, most of his clients are out of state. He leased 1000 square feet but 900 are used for common areas and the rent is costly plus the operating expenses. He is frustrated. At 6pm he leaves, if he is lucky, no tractor trailer overturned today on I-95 and he will be home before his kids go to bed. The corporate rat race. John is wasting time commuting and doing fastidious office tasks. He is also wasting money on gas and the rental of common areas, he barely uses. And John’s wife is not happy because he does not spend enough quality time with the kids. Neither Jane nor John knew that an amazing concept is now in their neighborhood. Urbis Executive Offices.
