Our office desk is the place where we spend long hours. It's the place where we are meant to be at our performer best. But considering it's a part of the set environment, sitting in one place often gets to us. An uninteresting desk could be one major reason why get stressed, mind-blocked and demotivated at times. There are many ways you can deal with this and we've listed down 6 of the easiest ways you can decorate your desk and see it have a positive effect on your performance instantly!
1. Brighten it up
Use flowers, frames, mats, cups or even a colourful mouse pad to brighten up your work station. Bright colours not only look funky, but also make the space look creative and attractive. Red is known to stimulate the mind and body, yellow is known to enhance memory and green can relax your mind and body. So use a touch of these colours to enhance your work performance
2. Fairy lights
Add an all season festive magic to your desk with a string of fairy lights. This will uplift the monotonous look of the desk and brighten it up some more. More amount of light, especially when it comes in a pretty package, is bound to have an optimistic effect on your mood and will render you motivated.
3. Quotes
Sometimes quotes have you speechless and describe exactly how you feel. So it's time you start collecting all those quotes that you relate to and make a collage out of them. Make it all the more inspiring by using one quote that motivates you, one that describes you and is a constant reminder of how amazing you are and one that highlights what you want to achieve so that you move forth without looking back.
4. Organised desk
The best and the easiest way to make your desk look attractive is to keep it clean, organised and systematic. So get rid of the trash and clean your desk first. Because the time you spend on hiding or putting aside those items can be used to do productive work. You can use office organising accessories that will organise your desk and make it look trendy at the same time.
5. Pin up good memories
Haven't we all had those days when we want to leave everything and even quit our job in a fit of anger! So pin up all the good memories you have at work. Maybe a letter from a colleague, an award or a certificate or even a picture of something that you planned that gained success or was appreciated. It's a constant reminder that you've had good experiences and there are more to come.
6. Add something that instantly lights up your mood
We all have that one thing that never fails to cheer us up, be it the scent of your favourite flower or your favourite chocolate. So go and get a vase for that flower or a funky box to store your chocolate and decorate your desk with it. But make sure that special something finds its place on your desk.
