maximize your small space

Unless you’re living in a seven-bedroom mansion, chances are you’re like most Canadians: trying to make the most of your small living space. From studio apartments to threebedroom family homes, most of us are craving more space, particularly when home is also the office.

Maximizing your small space to include an office is not an insurmountable challenge. With

the right tools and a little planning, you can bring the benefits of a much larger space to wherever you work.

invest in an ergonomic chair

Considering this is where you’ll be sitting for eight hours a day, investing in the right chair is crucial. Find something with various controls so you’re at a comfortable height, with feet flat on the floor and elbows and wrists straight when typing.

get a desk that works

Though you may love the look of something larger, chances are you can make do with a compact desk. Measure your workstation and see what makes sense, taking into account the space you want versus what you actually need. Pro tip: an adjustable standing desk can give you the option to stretch your legs throughout the day.

clear the clutter

Extra pens and pencils, papers, folders, and empty coffee mugs and dishes…when you’re working in a small space, every item takes up room both physically and mentally.

Combine regular work breaks with bringing dishes to the kitchen and store loose items in a box or drawer.

put two screens in one

Multiple screens were great at the office, but at home, it’s rare to

have the space for extra monitors. The LG UltraWide monitor has a single stand and curved screen which can show multiple windows at once, making it easier for you to multitask at work.

make use of sleek backgrounds

By now, we’ve all seen the hilarious (and not-so-hilarious) backgrounds available for virtual calls. While they can be entertaining, they also serve a helpful purpose: hiding your unmade bed, scattered kid toys and dirty dishes.

Using your space wisely will contribute to a more relaxing and productive work environment, so that at the end of the day you can reconnect with family, friends or your adorable pup.

be savvy with your dollars in a post-pandemic world

The pandemic has caused everyone to play closer attention to their finances, taking stock of where every dollar goes. Make your money work for you in the new normal by following these tips and tricks for savvier spending from Vanessa Bowen, money coach and accountant.

make and maintain a budget

A recent survey found that four in five Canadians are planning or

taking steps to better manage their finances. Creating a household budget is one of the best ways to do this. Although it may seem like a chore, by dedicating just a half hour a week to reviewing where your money goes, you can ensure you are the one controlling your money, and not the other way around.

spend smarter

As people look more closely at their financial situations, they’re also becoming more skeptical of unnecessary fees and are looking for ways to minimize or eliminate them. With the recent increase in banking fees from most major banks in 2021, this can be a good place to start.

Review your monthly fees and service charges. If you’re getting charged for a place to keep your money, look for no-monthly-fee banking options, like the PC Money Account. This account rewards you for everyday purchases and bill payments, which means you’ll be making money instead of losing it monthly.

create an emergency fund

The last year has taught us that anything can happen. To ensure you’re more financially secure for the unexpected with your job, home or something else, be sure to have an emergency fund. Ideally, try to set aside about six to 12 months’ worth of your salary to rely on should you need it. ■

how to maintain our apartment buildings

Maintaining apartment buildings is important for tenant safety and well-being. Rentalhousing providers have an obligation to their residents to make sure that they are living in quality units that feel safe and comfortable. Maintaining an apartment building may seem straight forward and easy, support and dedication from owners, ensure that their tenants live in quality homes. However, maintaining an apartment building is a communitywide responsibility. While rentalhousing providers are seen to have the biggest responsibility when it comes to maintaining an apartment building, the tenants also have a responsibility of supporting that maintenance by cooperating with management to ensure that buildings stay in a good state and repairs are conducted in a timely manner. Our buildings are homes to all of us, and we need to work together to keep them in good condition.

According to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), both the rentalhousing providers and the tenants have an obligation to maintain and repair the rental property. It is important to note that these obligations are true for any and all rental agreements.

rental-housing provider responsibilities

The rental-housing provider has responsibilities that include repairing and maintaining the property and meeting property standards. The provider should always keep the building in good condition. Electrical, plumbing and heating systems should be always functioning, as should appliances, windows, doors, locks, lighting, garages, laundry

Walls, roofs, ceilings, carpets and walkways should be repaired as needed as well to withstand the test of time. In the case that something stops functioning due to wear and tear, the onus is on the provider to replace it.

Additionally, the rental-housing provider needs to keep the property clean, which ranges from making sure common areas are tidy and clean to taking care of any pest issues. Property standards are outlined in municipal bylaws and provincial maintenance standards.

Rental-housing providers should also make sure that their building

Finally, the provider should also maintain and not interfere with vital services, which include hot/ cold water, fuel, electricity, gas

The provider needs to make sure that they are always supplying

situations such as overdue rent.

tenant responsibilities

The tenant should keep their rental unit clean. As long as the state on other tenants, the cleanliness of their unit is generally left to their own judgement.

In case of damages that are not due to normal wear and tear, but due to damage by the tenant or their guests, the tenant will be required to pay for the repair or take care of it themselves.

The maintenance of the apartment building relies on the strong relationship between the rentalhousing provider and the tenant. It is great communication between the two parties that ensures the maintenance of the building. If there is a problem, the

their rental-housing provider to help solve the issue. And rental-housing providers should do the same thing. If the tenant is not keeping up with standards, the rental-housing provider should ask the tenant to make changes

working remotely? how to optimize your

Though social distancing has been in place for months now, perfecting our work-from-home setup continues to be a challenge for many of us. Here are a few surprising ways that you can stream-

line your routine using your mobile phone from anywhere:

consider dark mode

Need to give your eyes a break?

While blue light blocking glasses can help, another option is to give your

eyes a rest by catching up on email from your phone using dark mode, which will help alleviate strain as you read.

get a stand

Using your smartphone for conference calls can help add fl ex-

ibility if you’re having to move rooms to accommodate other family members’ schedules. That said, the quickly draining battery and constant holding can be a pain. Look for a phone stand that has a built-in charger so battery life

doesn’t slow you down and you can dial in hands free.

Wi-Fi vs data

With home now acting as everything from the boardroom to the movie theatre, it’s worth assessing

your internet plan to ensure you get good download speeds and a reliable signal. But Wi-Fi is only half the equation. Connect with an unbiased mobile expert like those at The Mobile Shop virtually or in store to make sure your mobile plan is working optimally for you right now. If you have internet issues, you may want to consider an unlimited data mobile plan, so you don’t get dropped from conference calls.

use alarms and reminders

Have you dialed in late to a virtual meeting since working from your home office? Set up reminders and alarms on your phone to add extra security for important meetings and mix in reminders to walk the dog or check in with the kids while you’re at it. Our routine has changed, we can all use an extra nudge or two.

create space

Whether we’re at home or out of the house during the day, many of us need constant access to our mobile devices, so juggling the needs of family members who may need to get connected for at-home learning can be tough. Accessories like noise-cancelling headphones and phone stands can be game-changers if you’re not able to spread out. ■
