The video performed surprisingly well in terms of views and ratings, so I figured that some follow-up content about my tips for making a desk setup would be of interest. I\u2019ve made&nbsp;a video version&nbsp;of the tips below. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Start from scratch. It\u2019s good to be able to wreck something to the ground and start all over again, especially if your desk is a total mess. Now when you have an empty space to work with, you can carefully select what gets to enter this valuable space of yours. I\u2019ve hierarchically ordered what I began building my workspace with as follows: Necessities &gt; conveniences &gt; decorations.<\/li><li>Use what you already have. Honestly, the fact that we even have a workspace should tell something about our miraculously fortunate position in time and space. What we already have should be more than sufficient to get from point A to point B. Have gratitude for that fact, be wise with your investments in the setup, and come up with creative solutions with the resources at hand.<\/li><li>Add your own personal touch. What can separate your desk setup from any other desk setup, is the fact that it\u2019s, well\u2026 YOURS, so make your desk setup shine with your uniqueness! In my case, I\u2019ve decorated it with LEGO items that I\u2019ve created, displaying my full-time hobby of being a \u201cprofessional LEGO nerd\u201d.<\/li><li>Keep your workspace functional. Now when you\u2019ve got this great setup going on, make sure to set up systems and form habits to keep it that way. Have a folder for your physical files, set up rules about areas of the desk where you don\u2019t allow yourself to get messy, and make sure to not leave any soda cans from your gaming session with the bois.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t overthink your desk setup. Contrary to what one might think I believe from watching me excessively change my workspace, there is such a thing as overthinking it. Investing a certain amount of time, energy and money into developing a fitting workspace makes perfect sense, especially if you\u2019re spending a lot of daily time at it. However, your workspace is for work, and if you\u2019re constantly reorganizing it and watching content about others\u2019 setups for inspiration, perhaps it\u2019s time to fix a draft that you can settle with. Come on; I can\u2019t be the only one who has disguised procrastination in \u201cupgrading my workspace to get more productive\u201d.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you\u2019ve found these tips helpful, and that you\u2019ll use some of them in practice.
