Did you know you can optimize your workspace for productivity and wellbeing? Whether it’s your home office, desk, or just a space to get things done, there’s something nourishing about a workspace you actually enjoy working in.
We’ve compiled a list of 3 easy (and enjoyable) ways to help you set up a mindful workspace.
1. Keep It Clean
Did you know the cleanliness of your chair, computer, and desk clean is essential to mindfulness practice? When focused on work, your mind is exerting energy on the task at hand. However, when you have a dirty workspace, your mind expands a portion of this finite energy each time you notice any smudges on your screen, crumbs on your desk, or dust on your shelves. By keeping the area clean, it actually reduces distraction.
Quick tip: Keeping a box of eco-friendly disinfecting wipes at your desk makes it easy to keep your workspace clean.
2. Declutter Your Space
A decluttered space equals a decluttered mind, right? Go through your items to recycle any receipts, papers, empty pens, or dried out highlighters. If you come across things you no longer use, donate or throw them away. Once you’re left with only the necessities, organize those items according to their purpose. Opening a drawer and finding exactly what you were looking for will save you time, energy, and frustration. You can experience this joy by taking the time to get organized.
3. Decorate Your Space
A visually pleasing desk can make work more enjoyable. This is a great opportunity to express yourself. Choose objects and pictures that make you happy, but keep it simple. Too much visual clutter can actually make it more difficult to focus. If you are working on your own business or working towards a goal, you can set up visual cues. A photo or memento that represents your intention or goal is a great reminder to stay focused.
Your Workspace
It should be there for you to actualize your intentions and goals, which is a very positive thing!
By keeping your work environment clean and organized, you are building a space where you can feel safe and comfortable. When the mind and body are calm, you can perform with ease.
