This past year for Christmas, I asked J to buy me the same desktop radio and water boiler he has in his office: the radio for playing classical music while I work and the water boiler to provide a ready supply of hot water for tea. Yesterday, I completed my home office setup by adding some stacking mugs and a bamboo tea box to organize my supply of green and herbal teas: a simple addition that makes my home office more organized and visually appealing.
I type these words, I’m listening to classical guitar music while sipping a cup of pomegranate white tea, the simple addition of music and hot beverages making my home office much cozier and conducive to productivity. Controlling one’s environment is an important part of honing one’s habits, and I find myself more willing to spend hours at my desk working now that I have both music and hot beverages close at hand.

Very nice. Yes, you have to enjoy the space around you to be productive> Thanks for the reminder, as I look around at all my clutter, haha. Best wishes.

Creating a special place is important to me too….. love hearing about how others organize their own “working nests”… I have coffee mug and warmer to keep it hot, favorite pictures on the wall, a couple of family photos, wall clock, radio, an old comfy chair for breaks and proofing daily work, a cork bulletin board with clippings, pictures relevant for current project. . womenlivinglifeafter50.com
