Ways to develop the most productive desk setup
Today I will be sharing some of the ways in which you can set up your work desk to increase your productivity. Yes, you heard it right, the desk setup definitely makes an impact on your productivity and hence we shall make full use of it to help us increase our productivity instead of hampering it.
Get rid of the non-essential items
We generally tend to keep a lot of things on our desk thinking that we might need that particular item at some point in time but we find it taking unnecessary large space and it doesn't get used as frequently.
So, one of the first things we can do to clean our desk is to keep only the essential items on the table/desk so that we are always occupied by what's necessary.
Things that are essential may include -
- Your laptop, computer, keyboard, mouse
- Water bottle
- Table lamp
- Pens in a pen stand
- A tiny plant (have been considered an element to boost productivity)
Things that you should get rid of from your desk -
- Snacks
- Dirty coffee mugs
- Extra books, notebooks
- Bunch of pens which are seldomly used
Light setup
You should try to have a well-lit desk setup by either using artificial lights or natural lights by sitting close to a window. Although after sunset you will need to have a good artificial light setup.
Having a window helps in giving a view and short breaks can be utilised much better by looking outside for a few minutes and providing relaxation to your eyes.
Ergonomics
You might have to invest in ergonomics if you want the best setup to boost your productivity. Things like those mentioned below help you in proper posture and don't strain any body part so that you can work longer without fatigue.
To set your desk, aim for the following -
- Standing Desk (which converts to sitting desk and vice versa)
- Chair with lumbar support, neck support and elbow support
- Keyboard and Mouse (even if you use a laptop)
- Keep greenery/ plants nearby on your desk
Get rid of wires
Having a computer setup and other appliances/ accessories also means that there will be a bunch of wires just hanging around and taking space. This also means that your desk is not aesthetic enough.
Use a spike guard/ extension board and attach it behind or below the table where it is not visible from the front. Tape all the wires along the edges of the table so that they don't just keep lying around on your desk and the overall setup looks clean.
