Remember that where you work, you also live. Given the amount of time, you’ll be living in your workspace over the course of your lifetime. Therefore, it makes sense to add some visual appeal. The first time you see your workspace, you should feel good about it. It should be attractive to you. Really it should be your favorite place in the entire building, house, or campus. Try new furniture, photos, posters, mirrors, flowers, etc.

When you look at an untidy workspace, you’ll get a sense that the person working there is stressed, overwhelmed, and disorganized. It is believed that if you can’t organize your physical environment, you’re probably incompetent to a certain degree and can’t be trusted. It’s difficult to feel centered when you’re surrounded by unfinished tasks that constantly remind you of what you haven’t done yet. Store everything else in drawers, shelves, or cabinets. Many people notice a dramatic improvement to their productivity when they try this.

Plants are a wonderful way to add life to a lifeless workspace. Use only living, oxygen generating plants, not lifeless fake ones. Water them as needed to keep them healthy. Over time you’ll find that your plants begin to resonate(共鸣) with you and become a reflection of you. Bring yourself back to nature by adding some plants to your workspace, and you’ll find yourself enjoying the environment much more.
