The start of every year brings new challenges and goals for the year ahead. If your workspace left you feeling disengaged and unmotivated, it might be a sign that your space needs a refresh. Now, we’re not talking about a full-blown office refresh but small changes that can help spark your motivation and allow you to re-engage, making sure you start your year off with a bang. You want your workspace to allow you to work in a way that will help you set a strong precedent for the year ahead so that you can achieve all your goals and tackle any challenges thrown your way. Simple, small changes can help any space feel new again to regain that spark, but knowing where to start and what changes to make can be a tough challenge. Keep reading below for our suggestions on how to make your office space feel new again.
Keep things simple
When it comes to your workspace, you want to keep things simple. You don’t want to clutter and overfill your space, as that can impact your productivity and motivation. Typically, a clear space equals a clear mind, and with a clear mind comes increased productivity and motivation. So, while it might not be spring just yet, giving your workspace a classic spring clean can allow you to decrease your clutter and evaluate what works and what doesn’t. If you still find that you have a lot of important clutter or not enough space to store everything neatly after cleaning, the addition of a compact pedestal to your setup can be a great simple solution. Adding a pedestal to your desk setup will give you the perfect storage space for all your important items ensuring they remain close by and easy to access while also ensuring that your actual workspace doesn’t become cluttered. Utilising wall space is another simple way to keep your workspace clean. Whiteboards, planners and pinboards can provide you with an elevated space where you can store important documents or write important notes while always keeping them at eye level and ensuring they are easy to access.
These are all simple products that make use of the existing features of your workspace to help you create a clear space that will allow you to have a clear mind.
Make you space comfortable
Comfort and productivity in your workspace go hand in hand. When you’re uncomfortable, your productivity decreases as you end up focusing more on the discomfort you’re in rather than the task at hand. If you found that in the past this was happening more often than not it’s a sign that you need to evaluate your space and remove, replace or upgrade the items that are causing this issue so your space can become more use friendly. The more comfortable you make your workspace the easier it will be to remain productive, however, you don’t want to make your space too comfortable as it may make you too relaxed, which can also affect your productivity.
Something else that goes hand in hand with comfort is ergonomics. Ergonomics will not only allow you to be comfortable in your space (which can help increase your productivity) but can also ensure that you don’t end up with any unwanted strains or injuries. Items such as monitors arms and rapid risers can help keep your desktop monitor or laptop in an ergonomically comfortable position, ensuring that no undue strain or pressure is placed on your neck that could cause pain. If you’re someone who suffers from back pain that affects your productivity, a footrest can be the perfect addition to your workspace. The angled design of a footrest helps to relieve pressure, which helps to eliminate back pain while also helping to improve your blood flow, which can have numerous other health benefits.
Making these small, simple changes to your workspace can help to ensure that you remain productive and motivated all year long, helping to avoid burnout and making this year your most productive year yet.
