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

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
