Girls don’t like boys, girls like cars and money coffee with the good creamer and a fountain coke over crushed ice.
I would say just kidding, except we recently polled our email list about their ideal work environment and… the data shows that I’m not joking at all.
Whether it’s a home office or a corporate high-rise, the break room snacks matter and so does your workspace.
In a survey by the New York Post, 79% of people take pride in their workspace setup and 86% (!!!) see their workspace as having a “huge” or “moderate” impact on their happiness.
If we polled only women it would surely be 100%. I’ve seen the men’s desks.
We can’t send you all a crushed iced machine, although that would be a very fun campaign and I will jot it down.
But what we can do is share small additions (and subtractions 👀) that can make a major difference in your performance and satisfaction at work.
4 Scientifically-Based Principles to Transform Your Workspace:
#1. All of the Lights
Research suggests that light is the single most important part of a workspace. Not just any lights, though. The big lights stay OFF - IYKYK. Natural light creates a sense of calmness in our brains that can lead to a significant increase in productivity.
If you work in corporate and are hoping that Janice with the good window moves to HR so you can snag her desk OR if you’re using a shoebox space in the bonus room at home because it’s the only square footage that the kids don’t occupy - I hear you.
Mimic natural light as best as you can with desk lamps like this one.
#2. Color Me Productive
In middle school I remember getting really hyper-focused on color psychology after hearing that fast food companies use red on purpose. So it should be no surprise that you can use colors strategically in your workplace to set a very specific mental state. Blue hues have been linked to higher perceived job performance and satisfaction.
If your boss wouldn’t appreciate the re-model or you don’t feel like coughing up your security deposit… the same psychological principles are true of art.
There are a million ways to incorporate color into your workspace. Use this abstract piece from Walmart as inspo or contract one of your favorite designers for a smaller piece with a special meaning that you can frame!
#3. Fast Forward Focused
The quintessential desk decor is a wallet-sized photo of your kids, but there’s a chance it should be a Ted Talk stage or the streets of Capri instead. A lot of people make vision boards and then never look at them again. But research shows that regularly viewing goals you want to accomplish can reinforce your brain and help you stay focused, motivated and aligned with where you’re headed.
What do we look at more than our desktops?
If you’re not ready to cut ties with your favorite family pictures, don’t worry. A good middle-of-the-road compromise is keeping dated photos behind you and future-focused photos towards the front of your line of vision during the work day.
You also can just never do anything that I say and continue doing exactly what you want.
#4. Just Add Plants
Green thumbs rejoice! The simple act of having plants in your workspace can improve your ability to concentrate and increase productivity by up to 15%.
It makes sense that having elements of nature could work wonders on our overstimulated noggins. One study even suggested that a greener office space could reduce sick days per person, per year, by up to 1.6 days. I doubt any of them had kids in daycare but I hope I’m wrong.
If you’re in a plant free zone or kill everything, try a fake one. I’m not sure it has the same affect but this one would look very cute on top of a stack of books.
The best part about learning principles is that each one of us could decorate an office knowing these things, and each space would come out totally different.
And they would all be perfect.
Your workspace is deeply personal and if it’s sad and beige because you think it should be and not because you love sad and beige, then no amount of potted plants will make it your productivity palace.
Be yourself and have fun.
