Your office cubicle is your personal space at work where you spend a significant amount of time during the day. It’s essential to create a pleasant and inspiring environment that enhances your productivity and boosts your mood throughout the workday. Decorating your office cubicle not only adds a touch of personality but also makes it feel like a second home. Here are some tips to help you transform your cubicle into an inviting and motivating space.
1. Start with desk essentials: Begin by organizing your desk essentials in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Utilize desktop organizers, pen stands, and file holders to ensure a clean and tidy workspace. Storing items in designated spaces will give your cubicle a more polished look.
2. Add color and texture: Injecting some color into your cubicle can make all the difference in creating an uplifting atmosphere. Consider investing in colorful stationery, vibrant folders, or decorative sticky notes that match your personality. Additionally, add texture through fabric desk accessories like patterned mousepads or cozy cushions for ergonomic comfort.
3. Inspiring wall decor: Utilize the walls of your cubicle as an opportunity to surround yourself with inspiring visuals or motivational quotes. Hang up photographs of loved ones, artwork that brings you joy, or even interesting articles as conversation starters with colleagues.
4. Bring nature indoors: Incorporating elements of nature can have a calming effect on the mind while adding freshness to your workspace. Small potted plants like succulents or mini cacti require minimal care yet add beauty and life to any cubicle.
5. Personalize with mementos: Displaying personal mementos such as small trinkets or souvenirs from memorable trips allows you to infuse elements of your own story into the space. These objects can serve as reminders of happy moments during stressful workdays.
6. Enhance lighting: Proper lighting is crucial in any workspace. If possible, take advantage of natural light by positioning your desk near windows. Add a desk lamp with warm or cool lighting to reduce eye strain and create a cozy ambiance.
7. Incorporate aromatherapy: Aromatherapy can significantly impact your mood and productivity. Choose scents like lavender for relaxation, peppermint for focus, or citrus for energy. Essential oil diffusers or scented candles (if allowed) can elevate the overall atmosphere of your cubicle.
8. Keep it clutter-free: Clutter tends to hinder productivity and create unnecessary stress. Regularly declutter your cubicle by organizing files, discarding unnecessary documents, and maintaining a clean workspace. A minimalist approach will help you maintain focus and improve efficiency.
Remember that while personalizing your office cubicle is encouraged, it’s important to keep it professional and avoid anything offensive or distracting to others in the workplace.
By following these tips, you can transform your office cubicle into a space that not only reflects your personality but also promotes positivity, creativity, and productivity in the workplace. Happy decorating!

Description : A New York Times Notable Book • Daily Beast Best Nonfiction of 2014 • Inc. Magazine's Most Thought-Provoking Books of the Year “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in cubicles.” How did we get from Scrooge’s office to “Office Space”? From bookkeepers in dark countinghouses to freelancers in bright cafes? What would the world be like without the vertical file cabinet? What would the world be like without the office at all? In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better....

Description : From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.
