Sitting in an office for eight (or more) hours of the day can make it difficult to remain constantly motivated when at work. Such intense and stationary work has a tendency to make even the best of us feel depleted and exhausted when the time comes to leave the office at the end of the day. The good news however is that just a few small habits and actions can actually make a big difference to help you keep up your creativity, energy and enthusiasm.
Tidying up your desk can be surprisingly effective. It’s hard to feel inspired sitting in a mess, so making your workplace uncluttered and organised is a good idea, as is investing in tools such as a favourite pen or a great planner.
Another good idea is just to enhance the view from your workspace. Simple visual pleasures such as a beautiful calendar or a small print can make you feel better about being where you are.
