Into Motivation

Office hours can be an ultimate drag. Imagine going into your workstation everyday and to be assailed with the utter dullness of it. Most probably everything is as plain as your 9-5 desk job is. So how do you find inspiration in such dire circumstances? Of course by adding spice to the natural bore-fest that is your work shift! But is it really possible to personalize your workplace into that well of inspiration that it should become to fuel your days? Why certainly!

So what can you do to show a little bit of that individuality when a lot of what your office expects of you relies on your doing your job effectively, like everyone else? Constant uniformity can pull you down sometimes. Luckily here are a few ways for you to retain your individuality while trapped in those four walls:

- Make a collage: Finding that work is keeping you from spending time with the people you love and all those lovely places you miss seem so far away? Keep them always by your side by making a collage on your cubicle wall! If you want a lot more creativity in your day, use the almighty tools of photo editing and the Internet to help you in your quest. If you prefer to go old school, magazines and old pictures work the best. Your ultimate solution? A mix-up of old and new will get you the perfect balance you need.

- Create a music shrine: If

you are your office’s resident music geek, it would be best to let the world know it with just one look towards your cubicle! Fill it up with posters and pins of your favorite bands or singers. You can even stick things like blank CDs, lyrics sheets or musical scores to make you the office’s undisputed king or queen of music.

- Setup a mini office theater: Of course this only works if your office allows you to have moderately loud sounds. But hey, anything is probably permissible after 5 PM, right? If you like working late, jack up the speakers on your computer then scatter the surround sound units on the far end of the workstation. Watch as your workday lights when you watch amazing audio-visual films like ‘Saving Private Ryan’ or ‘War of the Worlds’ on your workstation!
