When it comes to personalizing your workspace, it’s important to create an environment that reflects your personality and style. If you’re looking for ways to add a masculine touch to your cubicle, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek modern look or want to showcase your hobbies and interests, here are some tips on how to decorate your cubicle with a masculine flair.
1. Choose a color scheme: Opt for colors that exude strength and sophistication. Classic combinations like black, white, and gray can create a sleek and professional atmosphere. Consider adding pops of bold color such as navy blue or deep red to add visual interest to your cubicle.
2. Minimalistic desk accessories: Keep your desk clutter-free by using minimalistic desk accessories in neutral tones or metallic finishes. A sleek metal pen holder, a leather desk pad, or a modern clock can add an elegant touch without overwhelming the space.
3. Incorporate natural elements: Bring the outdoors inside by adding some greenery or natural elements to your workspace. A small potted plant or even a terrarium can provide a calming effect while adding an earthy element that complements the masculine theme.
4. Personalize with hobbies and interests: Showcase your passions by displaying items related to your favorite hobbies or interests. For example, if you’re into sports, hang up framed jerseys or team memorabilia on the walls of your cubicle. If you’re an art enthusiast, display some prints or sketches that inspire you.
5. Use masculine textures: Incorporate textures associated with masculinity such as leather, wood, or metal accents into your decor choices. A leather-covered mouse pad or desk blotter can instantly add sophistication while providing functionality.
6. Display inspirational quotes and artwork: Hang up motivational quotes framed in bold typography on the walls of your cubicle for daily inspiration. You can also display artwork or prints that reflect your personal style, whether it’s abstract or more graphic in nature.
7. Incorporate technology: As technology is likely a crucial part of your work life, embrace it by using sleek and modern tech accessories. Consider investing in a wireless charger or a stylish laptop stand that complements your overall aesthetic.
8. Upgrade your lighting: Adequate lighting is crucial for productivity and can significantly impact the ambiance of your workspace. Replace harsh fluorescent bulbs with warm LED lights or add a desk lamp with an adjustable arm to personalize your lighting needs.
9. Keep it organized: A clutter-free and well-organized cubicle is essential for maintaining productivity. Invest in storage solutions such as file organizers, trays, or drawer dividers to keep everything in its place while maintaining a neat appearance.
10. Don’t forget about comfort: Finally, prioritize your comfort by adding ergonomic elements to your cubicle. An ergonomic chair, wrist rest for your keyboard and mouse, or even a standing desk converter can make a world of difference in maintaining good posture and reducing strain during long work hours.
Remember, decorating your cubicle should be an opportunity to create an environment that reflects who you are. By incorporating these tips and adding personal touches that resonate with you, you’ll have an aesthetically pleasing workspace that inspires productivity while showcasing your unique personality.

Description : "I have a theory about the Hero's Journey. We all have one. We have many, in fact. But our primary hero's journey is the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling. The hero's journey ends when, like Odysseus, we return home to Ithaca, to the place from which we started. What then? The passage that comes next is The Artist's Journey. On our artist's journey, we move past Resistance and past self-sabotage. We discover our true selves and our authentic calling, and we produce the works we were born to create. You are an artist too-whether you realize it or not, whether you like it or not-and you have an artist's journey. Will you live it out? Will you follow your Muse and do the work you were born to do? Ready or not, you are called."--Back cover....

When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public.

But things were not always so easy or glamorous--she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life." As everyone who follows her obsessively on social media knows, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything).
