Creating Workstations That Will Increase Productivity

A work station is not just a table to put your desktop and a chair for you to sit on, its function serves more than just a space that lets you work. If done right, a work station can either increase productivity or promote procrastination. So how do you know if your workstation is serving you the right amount of productivity?
Take Google for example. The organisation offers sleeping pods for employees to take quick naps and rejuvenate in order to promote creativity. They also take a more colourful and fun approach to their office design. On the other hand, Facebook promotes an open space free of cubicles and walls to maintain an open door policy. By doing so, Facebook allows employees to approach managers at any time for discussion.
You don’t need to do a huge change to your office or workspace but there are certainly a few tweaks that can be made easily. For example, having a small plant or your favourite childhood character figurine that you can rest your eyes on when the work gets too hectic. You can even have your own mini blackboard where you put your to-do list for the week. Little changes mean a lot, so start with something small.

Treat Yourself To Motivate Yourself

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Going to the gym or eating healthy food is harder than sitting on the sofa or eating fast food. Doing your studies are harder than playing video games with your friends. In order for you to motivate yourself, use the treatment system. What this means is that once you accomplish doing a task, decide a treat for yourself. For example, if you successfully manage to go to the gym for 4 days a week, treat yourself to a nice lunch at a 5 star restaurant. If you finish your studies, treat yourself to a well-deserve bubble bath. When you decide on treating yourself once you have accomplished a task, you will be more motivated to complete it because your mind will think about the prize that you will get at the end. Creator Academy has a range of courses to support you in building your spirit and strengths – so you can take hold of your life and your future. You deserve to live the best life you can!
