Many times we think of our desk or office as just a place to work and don’t realize that we would be much more creative and productive if we actually enjoyed the space. This week, take time to add a little comfort and creativity to your work space. Here are some ideas:

• Add a flowering plant, indoor tree or fresh flowers
• Remove clutter such as paper piles and un-filed items
• Clean out your desk drawers if you haven’t done so in the past year
• Add a heater or comfortable slippers under your desk for the cool winter months
• Start using your favorite scented candle while you work
• Use a comfortable and visually appealing pillow on your desk chair
• Hang your favorite inspirational images and quotes where you can see them each day
• Invest in a new desk chair if your chair doesn’t give you adequate support and comfort

As you spend time creating a healthier and more inspiring work environment, think of it as an investment in your success. You may be surprised at how much happier and more productive you can be when you have a clean, healthy and inspiring area to work in.
