Creating Your Perfect Workspace

Being able to work from home has been the greatest thing, but before I created my own workspace, it wasn't so effective. I was working from the couch, in front of the TV. I was working from my bed. I was working in rooms with other conversations going on. This wasn't working for me, so I designed a space that where I could have peace and quiet, with no distractions. I want to share a few tips for those of you who are entrepreneurs, own your own business, or work from home! As well as share my ultimate work mode playlist...

  1. Pick your space out, and make it your own. Make sure it's somewhere where there will be no distractions. No TV in the room and somewhere where there won't be family members coming in and out all day long.

2. Make it cute. I always keep a candle on my desk and light it every time I sit down to work, I picked out a desk that matches my workspace, and I make sure everything on my desk matches. I currently have a mini pumpkin on it for fall, and at one point I had a vase with flowers on it. You want your workspace to be enjoyable to work in, but also not too cluttered at the same time.

3. Get organized - get a pen holder, folders, get a desk with a drawer, anything you'll need to keep things clean in your workspace. Make sure the room you are working in is clean - this makes for a clear mind when you sit down to work and you won't be surrounded by a mess.

4. Create a work playlist that motivates you or is easy on the ears when you're trying to focus. 

5. Create an area that is near natural light and keep a lamp on your desk or use a floor lamp. The light will help you stay awake and energized.  

6. Choose comfort. Pick out a desk and chair that you will be able to use for hours at a time. The worst thing is putting your desk together and realizing it is too short/tall for you or too small/big for you. You need to be comfortable with what your workspace consists of.

7. Keep inspration all around you. Create a vision board and hang it on the wall. Use notebooks with inspirational quotes on them. Fill your desk drawers with personal development books.
