5 Simple Ways to Enhance Your Workspace

In This Article:

As of now, most of us have been doing work for our online classes or internships from our desks at home. While our desks work out okay, after doing days of work in the same space the scenery can soon become old leaving us unmotivated to complete our work. Thus, here are five simple ways to enhance your workspace to switch up the scene and boost both your productivity and creativity.

1. Use mugs and cups as storage to stay organized

Mugs and cups aren't just for drinking. Though most people use them to hold their beverages, they are actually a great way to store pens, pencils, paper clips, and other small items too. Almost any color works and it is a great way to take advantage of what you already have.

2. Add life to your desk with a plant or two

Succulents are one of many plants that require little work while also adding life to your space. However, if you really don't want to worry about taking care of something fake plants work fantastic as well.

3. Add light to the space

If you are working late or are in a space with bad lighting, adding light to your space can be essential and make all the difference. Depending on the area, some good options are candles, desk lamps, twinkle lights, and floor lamps. Not only will they help increase your productivity, but they will also serve as a decoration adding a pop of color to the area.

4. Convert your computer into a work of art

Giphy

Instead of looking at a basic default computer screen when you open your laptop, look at an art deco piece or motivational saying by switching out your wallpaper. There are so many online to choose from and it will help increase your motivation and creativity to get you going throughout the day.

5. Create and hang a collage or mood board

This is a great way to add personality to your space as well as let your creativity grow. It will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the day, and you can switch it up when you get tired of it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
