Outside is Also Inside

Hygiene and orderliness outside the office is as important as hygiene and orderliness inside the office. Who would be enthusiastic to work inside the office when, just before you enter, you'll already see graffiti on the walls and trash littered everywhere. Blame people for inventing hygiene, but dirty surroundings just isn't pleasing to the eye.What can you do to ensure a good environment outside your office?

• Plant trees or put potted plants. Nothing beats greeneries lined up outside your walls. It isn't only a beauty to the eye, but it also serves as your community's lungs, as concrete pavements cannot breathe, anyway. Put as many as possible. Some may think that it may lead to your office looking like a greenhouse, but more plants is better than none.
• Depending on the location of your office, try not to put too much distraction outside your doorstep. Try not to make the doorway an eyesore to those entering the office premises.
• Don't stack garbage outside! I know it's the government's role to make sure that the sidewalks are free from clutter, but you should also do your part in maintaining a clean community. Putting a trash can just outside your place will already do.
• If your office is part of a big company, then you might not need to think about this. But if you are just keeping a home office, then you should not strive for a healthy physical order, but also a healthy social order as well. Befriend the people in the community. Hey, this goes for everyone, if you'll think about it.

  What I've mentioned above are obvious. But we tend to forget things, that's why a little reminder will always be welcome.
