What is something you do at work to make your day a little nicer for yourself?
What is something you do at work to make your day a little nicer for yourself?
I'll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊
I just started this job, but I'm trying to make myself feel a bit more cozy, since the work can feel a bit heavy sometimes.
Curious what others do to make their environment a little nicer. :)

Oh man, I've been in my little office cubicle for like 2 years now and have slowly added things to make it almost as cozy as home. Here's what I've done:
-
Rice bag
-
A drawer full of basic self-care, hygiene things. E.g., a brush, ibuprofen, on-the-go toothbrushes, hair ties, etc.
-
String lights on the walls
-
Tiny fake plants, so I don't have to worry about keeping them alive, but they're still cute
-
My favorite coffee mug
-
A box full of ADHD fidget toys (for mind-numbingly boring meetings)
-
A phone charger
-
A phone stand so I can watch TV sometimes
-
A small end table for snacks and food
-
I brought in a few small dishes from home, like a plate, bowl, silverware, etc.
-
A cozy blanket
-
SO MANY pictures of my fur babies and husband to hang on my cuby walls
I think that's most of it? It'll be a bitch when I eventually move to another job, but for now it's a pretty great set up 😁
Ooh, these are all really good ideas! I may borrow some of these! :) Especially the string lights, fake plants, and blanket! That sounds so nice.
I should also get some little photos of loved ones that I can look at; that's another very good idea!
Back when I actually worked in an office we used a hot desk, so that sort of thing was never an option.
