I spend more and more time at my desk these days, doing everything from life admin to working on this blog. Because of this, and the change to working from home as a result of the pandemic, my workspace is constantly changing.
Holding the clutter at bay is challenging but helps to keep my mind clear and focused so I keep a few essentials next to my desk.
Firstly, a good old desk plant is pride of place on my desk. Not only have plants been shown to help provide clean air at home filled with oxygen, but they’re also a great mood booster!
My planner is my absolute go-to and without it, I’d be lost! Keeping your diary somewhere visible is a great hack for keeping on top of things and having easily viewable reminders for upcoming activities. Hurray for no missed appointments!
I also keep a drinks mat on the desk to keep easy access to, and a reminder for, drinking water or a cup of tea/coffee. I also like to keep a few snacks close to hand for if I’m working away and need a pick-me-up without breaking my work focus.
Laptop aside, everything else is kept tucked away in a drawer so I know it’s there when I need it but my main workspace is clear.
What tips do you use for your desk space?
