the fun(work)space

How do you organize your physical workspace to maximize focus?


with my working days in tech long gone. my workstation has slowly become a place of fun and creativity. i've been working on it (and battling with my ADHD in the process) by slowly making it more me and less utilitarian

i have to be honest, i want an explosion of color and creativity in my life. i want it to surround me in all ways. and so i'm slowly working on my living space to reflect that. the deskmat my computer sits on is an explosion of color. it looks as if paint was thrown against a wall (which i'd also love to have one day)

i keep candles lit while i am at my desk. scented, and i usually rotate based on the season. tropical or forest like with a hint of honeysuckle seems to be my summer scents. i'll most likely go for more wood like and possibly baked goods in autumn. winter and spring i have yet to figure out, but i'm looking forward to it

under my desk is an accent of leds. right now i have it set to purple. i typically keep it on purple, but sometimes switch it to pink. along the back of my desk behind the computer are a strand of fairy lights

i keep some beauty supplies on my desk too. namely nail care supplies, and some polish as well. i have some colored markers and i keep my purse nearby as well. as well as a trimmer for nose hair (it also has an alternate trimmer for eyebrows)

one day soon all of my living environment will reflect my love for color and creativity. but this is a good start and i'm quite happy with it. perhaps one day i'll share a picture when i've got it how i like it!
