Cut the Commute with a Garden Office

Cut the Commute with a Garden Office

By Andrew Tweddle on 10th August, 2011

In today’s world of technology, it is easier than ever to work away from a centralised office. Working from home is quickly becoming a viable solution for many businesses, which allows employees to cut out the journey to the office, for at least a few days every week.

By eliminating the commute, employees are seeing a number of benefits in both their work and home lives. Garden offices from Decorated Shed are the perfect places to carry out your work from home, giving you a tranquil, productivity nurturing space that’s just seconds from your own home.

In these times of austerity, saving money will be the most important benefit of working from home for many people. To put this in perspective, a weekly bus ticket in London costs £16.60, so one year of travel costs £863.20. An annual zone 1 and 2 tube pass costs £1,100, and paying London’s congestion charge five days a week, for one year, could cost up to £2,600. The initial cost of buying a Decorated Shed garden office will, over time, be recouped by these saving on travel costs. Plus, after this you are left with a stylish and practical space, which will keep on performing year after year.

Another important benefit of eliminating the commute is giving you more time free time. Whether you need that time for an important piece of work, or simply for an extra hour in bed on a morning, a garden office will allow you to do that. If your average daily commute is one hour each way, you would be saving ten hours every week (based on working from home Monday to Friday). That would effectively give you more than an extra twenty-one free days every year, if you start working from home in your own Decorated Shed garden office.

As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves. A garden office from Decorated Shed can save you both money and time. A lot of people are already making the move to working from home, rather than working in an office. Maybe it’s time you joined them, and in the process give yourself more free time to spend however you wish.
