Do you wake up each day feeling great, but soon after you enter the office you feel your inspiration and motivation fleeing? If so, there are some inspiring workplace ideas that you can put to work for you so you feel more inspired when you work.
After all, it doesn’t matter how good you are at your job if you don’t feel passionate about what you do.
Simple Ideas to Infuse Your Workplace with Inspiration
One of the best ways to infuse your workplace with inspiration is to make sure it is comfortable. You need to make sure your chair supports your back correctly, your desk is at the right height, and you have an ergonomically correct keyboard and mouse.
Repetitive strain injuries are on the rise, so speak up and you just might find your employer willing to cooperate. Worst case: bring in your own office supplies or equipment. There’s no reason that your body has to suffer if your boss is stingy!
De-Clutter Your Workspace
You will often find inspiration by getting rid of the clutter on your desk or on your computer. A cluttered workspace can zap you of your creativity because you spend more time trying to find things than getting things done.
Look at your workspace objectively and ask yourself: “What absolutely needs to be on my desk?” Remove the things that make you feel claustrophobic and toss the things you never use.
Everything else must be filed away in an organizational system that works for you.
The bottom line: only keep the things that you need in the space. Keeping anything else adds nothing more than clutter and distraction.
Clutter zaps your motivation, so avoid it! Once you do, you’ll think clearer and feel far more relaxed.
Creating an Inspirational Computing Experience
The other place you likely spend the most time is on your computer. Making sure you have a clutter-free desktop will really help to clear your mind from unnecessary frustrations and distractions. Once you do this, a great ways to bring inspiration into your workspace is through inspirational wallpapers.
Inspirational wallpapers are typically free downloads that inspire you during those long 8-hour workdays. After all, it can be hard to stay focused staring at your screen all day!
When you are having a hard time getting started, getting motivated, or just finding the inspiration to push forward, you can look at your desktop and you’ll find all the inspirational energy you need.
Inspirational wallpapers typically contain beautiful landscapes with inspirational quotes or sayings. Sometimes all you need to get going is a gentle push in the right direction, and inspirational wallpapers just might be what you need. It’s really that simple!
The great thing about these wallpapers is that they don’t take up any physical space, so there’s no need to worry about clutter.
You also can use some of the images and quotes on the wallpaper to create screensavers for your computer. Your computer has the potential to inspire you in so many ways!
Inspiration can often seem impossible to find at work, but you may need to think outside of the box and find ways to get inspired. Keep things simple and don’t let clutter get you down.
