For Your Desk and Workspace

Your workspace is the place you get things done. This is where you want to be set up for success, productivity, problem-solving, AND creative thinking. To create a workspace you love, follow these steps:

1. Identify your needs: Determine what you need to do in your workspace and what tools or equipment you require to perform those tasks. Don’t skimp on making the area comfortable for your mind and body.

2. Choose a location: Select a quiet, well-lit, and comfortable location in your home or office to create your workspace. Think about the room's flow and if you will need to leave items out or organize things so they are put away each day.

3. Make it functional: Arrange your furniture, equipment, and tools in an organized and pleasing manner to maximize efficiency and comfort. Get rid of the junk and piles of paper clutter. A good paper shredder is a must!

4. Add personal touches: One of our favorite tips! Incorporate items that make you happy, such as plants, photographs, or artwork, to make your workspace personalized and inviting so you are ready to tackle anything.,

5. Control lighting: Adequate lighting is crucial for comfort and productivity. Ensure your workspace has enough natural or artificial light, and consider installing adjustable lamps to control the brightness level. We have a few we love below.

6. Minimize distractions: Avoid distractions as much as possible, close doors, set up a fun “signal” on your desk, so your team knows you need some time or use noise-canceling headphones.

7. Maintain cleanliness: Keep your workspace clean and tidy, which can improve your focus and mental clarity. At the end of the day, give yourself 5 minutes to tidy up before checking out.

By following these steps, you can create a workspace that you love and that supports your productivity and well-being. Check out some of our favorite items to help creat your optical workspace below.
