2. Transform old pin/cork board into a wall organizer
Imagine having a beautifully mapped out monthly calendar, a to do list and a vision board right in front of the everyday work desk. It’s not just convenient for you at work, but it's also a great project that will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the year!
We’d genuinely recommend this to project managers, creative freelancers or just anyone who needs a constant reminder on deadlines and their daily tasks. It might sound a little more complicated than the first but trust us, it will be all worth it when you set it up!
What you need:
- Pin board or cork board
- Push pin
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Marker
3. Clean between keyboard keys with tape or sticky strip of post-it
Whoever said they’ve never snack or eat while on their laptop or desktop, they are probably lying. That said, it’s not difficult to find small, tiny crumbs in between keywords which can be quite a tedious work to clean ‘em up. That’s only because you haven’t found an easy way to do it!
Use some sticky tape or post-it to pick up crumbs to dust between the keys, then an antibacterial wipe to sort those germs out. Stupidly simple, right?

4. Keep a notepad for ideas & reminders
Some might find this redundant but no one really knows when the next new idea hits! And the first thing you want to do is drop those ideas down before they disappear into ashes. Let’s be honest, your mind can only remember so much.
Not forgetting to always keep a pen around you so you have something to write :p
If you ever need more pen and notepad supplies, grab them here and here! We’ve got all the choices in the world for you to pick~
5. Place books under your laptop/ computer for better posture
If you notice, you tend to look down to see your laptop screen when it's placed on a surface. So what’s the problem? The weight of your head hanging forward places a huge amount of strain on the spine which over time, can cause aches, pains and even long term injuries.
Is there a solution? Get an adjustable laptop stand!
But we have a far more brilliant and quick fix. Use books. Yes, you read that right. Just ANY books will do.
How?
Place books under your laptop or computer until you find yourself looking straight instead of looking down to your screen, then you’re most likely good to go!
