workspace organization (+ a giveaway!)

Bluelounge-1

Your workspace is a very important place – it’s where you go to focus and get shit done. It has a clear role and should be a place where you’re free of distractions, yet it needs to be functional and have everything you need to be efficient. This can often be a pretty tricky thing to balance – creating a workspace that’s organized and clutter free, yet still totally useful (because comeon, we don’t really work everyday in a space free of cords and there can’t always be fresh blooms! #getreal).

When I heard about Bluelounge’s new line of organizational tech accessories at Target, I was immediately excited. A way to spruce up my workspace while still making sure all of my tech needs were covered? Yes, please! It was like it was meant to be and both the Type A and Obsessively Connected sides of my personality were giddy.

So it was time to put ’em to the test and integrate some tech organization into my own workspace – some tips to help get your workspace organized:

  1. Hide the Cords: Unfortunately cords are a necessity in any workspace to keep our technology juiced up but that doesn’t mean they need to be an eyesore. Adding a cable box will not only add extra outlet space (there’s a built in surge protector!) but also hide away all of those ugly plugs. Cable drops are also perfect for keeping those wires in place – stick one right on your desktop or behind the desk to keep cable cords from falling down when unplugged.
  2. Clear the Clutter: Yes, there are lots of things we need to make our workspace functional but they don’t always have to be out and in-view. Clearing away clutter will help keep you focused and avoid distractions and unnecessary stress. Grab a stylish cup for pens and file away papers in storage boxes to keep your workspace feeling clutter free.
  3. Musts within Reach: There’s nothing more distracting than having to go and search for something you need to get work done. It immediately breaks your focus and can be incredibly frustrating (especially when you can’t find what you need!). Help yourself stay on task by having your must items within reach – from pens and paper to Post-It’s and your headphones + charging cables neatly wrapped up with cable clips.
  4. Function Rules All: At the end of the day, your desk needs to be more about work than style. Make sure you have a comfortable desk chair and make working on your laptop more ergonomic by adding some elevation with removable feet stands.
