Office Renovation For Dummies

By Sid | August 12, 2008

Your workstation. It’s the place where you spend the bulk of your time in outside of home. It’s the place where you’re forced to succumb to wage slavery for several hours a day for most of the week. It’s the place where you drag your arse off to every day without an end in sight. Indeed, it’s a place of misery and despair, and you’re stuck there for the rest of your life - or at least, until you can get your pension.

Well, if you’re going to be spending countless hours in the office, why not make it more your own? After all, heaps of paperwork, drab furniture, and generic supplies will only contribute to the general depressing feel of the place. Indeed, you’ll be surprised to see how some changes here and there will make your office a better and more inviting place for you. And though an office overhaul probably won’t do wonders to your productivity, it can at least improve aesthetics. Plus, you’ll be able to make use of the Office Depot coupons gathering cobwebs in one of your desk drawers.

So before you go shopping, here are some things you should get to start your new project. C’mon. You know you want to.

1. Color.
There’s nothing like a splash of color to give your drab workstation some much-needed charm. The brightness will also do your stress levels a load of good. This doesn’t mean that you should start painting your cubicle’s walls a bright canary yellow. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to go over well with the rest of the workforce.

To add color to your work life, invest in a print reproduction of an artistic piece that caught your eye, and hang in on your wall. Make it two, if you have space. These will give you something else to look at, rather than another one of your boss’ useless memos.

2. Knick knacks.
A very good way to personalize your workspace is to decorate the area with personal things. This is not to say that you should display your entire collection of Barbie dolls or stuffed animals.

Consider a cute little pillow to make your chair more comfy, or a funky cup to drink your morning coffee from. You can even use your coupons for Office Depot to get a nice little stapler, or a scented notepad, or even a fluffy pen. This is a great way to show off your personality.

3. Organize.
There’s nothing more depressing than a messy desk, and if you want a reason to love your workstation, you better start getting organized. And though this is something you can’t get with Office Depot coupon codes, this is really non-negotiable. You can, however, use ‘em coupons to get yourself a new shelf, or folders and binders aplenty to help you get organized. That’s a good start.

Indeed, let your personality shine through with your new and improved workstation. Before you know it, your cubicle will no longer be a prison, but a sanctuary.
