Office Makeover

By Michael Mustradi

All of us could use some organization and a little change.  Well, at least I know I do from time-to-time.  I recently read an excellent post about how to give your office a makeover at a decent price.  From organizing, decorating, and even lighting, this article pointed out that there are a few things that we don't realize could be changed for the better.

Organization in itself can really do the entire makeover.  If your desk is not a desk at all, and instead a mountain of papers, this paragraph will most likely pertain to you.  A filing cabinet is a quick and easy way to store papers that you may need in the future and works as a fantastic desk-cleaner-upper.  Adding a whiteboard is also a nice way to save on paper and visually map out your day.  This is exceptionally essential for visual learners.

If you find yourself squinting or feeling tired, you may not have the proper lighting in your office.  Improving the lighting can drastically give your workplace energy and help prevent eye strain.  So, open the blinds or replace the lighting system you have from the 90s.  You will be glad you did.

Arguably the most important item on this list is the USB cup warmer.  Whoever invented this should be given a Nobel Prize.  Seriously, no more cold coffee!  When you are swamped with work and totally forget that you have a delicious cup of java on your desk, it will still be warm when you feel you need a caffeine fix.
