Your water bottle, a notepad, headphones, millions of post-its, a half-eaten packet of chips from last week, a cluster of wires. These are the things that normally occupy a person's work desk. Some of us spend hours cleaning this mess up, while some of us have found our outlet in this chaos. But did you know your productivity levels can be affected by the clutter on your desk? According to Vipul Pirgal and Divyansh Sanklecha, Founder of Curio Casa, our external surroundings can "dictate how we deal with tasks, respond to inevitable challenges that might arise in everyday work, and how we internally feel about these challenges." When our external space is uncluttered, organised and properly maintained, we are able to think clearly and function better in a high-stress environment, they explained adding that, "minimal decor styles would be your best bet when it comes to styling your workspace. All the important items are in sight without decor taking away much attention." When you are able to think clearly, you are also able to compartmentalise your thoughts well, which in turn enables better productivity. Here are some decor tips for your work desk, which will improve your productivity levels. Use a stationery organiser A stationery organiser would be a must when it comes to holding all your office essentials. "It will hold all your stationery in one place allowing better accessibility when needed," Pirgal and Sanklecha added. According to them, notepads are a must when it comes to maintaining your thoughts and taking down important notes as and when required. "They would also allow easy flow of thoughts and ideas through brainstorming sessions." Make paper weights your new BFF Paper weights are super handy when it comes to keeping important documents in place as these objects don't take up much space and are very helpful on the regular to keep your papers organised in one place, the experts said. Decorate with plants A small green succulent can be an absolute mood lifter through difficult days, according to Pirgal and Sanklecha. "It looks aesthetic and adds a breath of fresh air to your otherwise boring space." Mobile holders can come in handy We do most of our work through our phones in this day and age, so the founders of Curio Casa recommend using mobile holders. "Having your phone in sight and handy when needed would be a welcome relief," they said. 📣 For more lifestyle news, follow us on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook and don't miss out on the latest updates!
