Here Are 6 Top Tips To Increase Your Office Happiness
Is your office environment a happy one? Having the correct tools for the job and a friendly, helpful place from which to get them from will improve your mood and more importantly increase your productivity. Check out the ideas below to make your work time a more fun, enjoyable and productive experience.
1. A Kitchen Timer
Invaluable for focusing yourself when you have an important deadline and can’t seem to stop procrastinating. Set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes (or even five if you must) and tell yourself you can take a break when the time’s up.
2. A Pen You Adore
A Reps favourite is the medium point blue, retractable. The MD likes to use a bold purple ballpoint to cross out items on their printed 'to- do' list. Whatever pen you use, make sure it’s one that makes you happy. Even if you spend most of you day on the computer, there will surely be times you’ll need to use pen and paper. Why not make it enjoyable?
3. Your Favourite Drink
Coffee, water, coke… a triple half-caf chai tea latte made with organic soy milk… whatever it takes to get those brain sells going. Here’s a hint from someone who learned the hard way:think about using a travel mug for whatever drink you choose in case you knock it over. Laptops don’t like to have liquid poured all over them.
And don't forget any drink always goes hand in hand with a nice chocolate biscuit!
4. A Distraction From The Desk
All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl, and it makes her wrists and back hurt besides. For mental and physical well being, you might want to use your time off from your desk - the ten or fifteen minutes between dashes - on something totally removed from work. You might try some Sudoku puzzles, or a yoga workout, depending on your temperament.
5. A Think Of Beauty
In addition to work and play, you need time to dream. Give yourself something to initiate it. You might be inspired by a picture of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie or your favourite holiday destination.
6. A Reminder Of What You Love Most
The most common item to find in someone’s cubicle at work is a photo of friends or family, for good reason. But you don’t have to put them in a regular old frame. You can make it in to a mouse matt, a mug, or if you’ve money to spare and prefer a high-tech display for your photos, how about a digital photo frame?

The Happier the Office - the More Productive the staff !!
