Workspace Goals: New Year, New Space, New Desk Setup
Running a small business means having a workspace that sparks creativity and keeps you on top of things is an absolute must. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been giving my desk setup a bit of a refresh, and honestly, it’s now my favourite corner of the office. Let me tell you why this little space has made such a difference in my daily workflow and how you can create something similar.
A Space That Feels Good
The vibe I was going for? Calming but with a bit of energy. The faux flowers are such a win—they add a nice pop of colour, brighten up the area, and I don’t have to worry about watering them. My desk sits right by the window, so I get loads of natural light, which makes the whole space feel airy and uplifting. Honestly, it’s such a game-changer.
I’ve also got my trusty salt lamp glowing away. It’s got this warm, cosy light that’s perfect for early mornings or late-night work sessions. All these little touches come together to make the space not just functional but somewhere I actually enjoy spending time.
Keeping It Together
With so many things on the go, staying organised is a non-negotiable. My planner is my best friend—it’s always open on my desk, keeping me on track with everything from product launches to social media planning. Having it right there means I’m less likely to forget things, and let’s face it, crossing off tasks feels amazing.
Tech-wise, I’ve kept it simple but effective. My laptop stand helps with posture (a lifesaver when you’re at your desk for hours), and having my tablet handy is great for jotting down quick ideas or checking inspiration boards. It’s all about making things easy to reach and simple to use.
Want to Refresh Your Workspace?
If you’re thinking about giving your workspace a bit of a glow-up, here’s what I recommend:
Let in the Light: If you can, set up near a window for natural light—it’s a mood booster and helps reduce eye strain.
Add Some Colour: Flowers (faux or real), a colourful notebook, or even some cute desk accessories can make the space pop.
Stay Comfy: Invest in things like a good chair, a laptop stand, or even a wrist rest to keep you comfortable during long workdays.
Make It Yours: Add personal touches that make you smile, whether it’s photos, candles, or something quirky that’s totally you.
Keep It Tidy: Having everything organised and within reach can seriously reduce stress and help you focus.
