There’s something about an organised workspace that sparks a particular I’ve-got-my-life-together kind of joy.
While we’ve come to rely (maybe a little too heavily) on the convenience of the phone so often glued to our hands, we still love the small endorphin hit we get from physically crossing something off our to-do lists and chic stationery and home office supplies make it a pleasure.
Then, of course, there’s the matter of working from home — something most of us are reaping the benefits of post-pandemic. Just consider it another reason to invest in our home offices and make-shift workspaces.
A uniform stationery set or a crisp new planner can make all the difference when working from the dining room table.

How To Set Up Your Home Office
As work from home has become more prevalent, we’ve all had to figure out (sometimes by learning the hard way) the importance of separating our work spaces from our personal spaces. Whether that’s finding the perfect stationery and home office supplies or figuring out office feng shui, the right set-up can make all the difference for your relationship with work.
Consider A Standing Desk:
Many of us threw our home offices together at the onset of COVID and never revised them, and they’re often less than ideal for our posture. If you don’t have a standing desk, consider investing in one. Simply standing during your work day lowers your risk of heart disease, boosts your mood and energy levels, and reduces everything from back pain to unwanted weight gain associated with long hours at your desk.
Screen Positioning Is Key:
Have you heard of Tech Neck? It’s a delightful phenomenon associated with craning your neck down at your screen for hours at a time. An easy fix is a laptop stand, which allows you to tilt your screen to the optimal angle. It also makes switching up your environment easy when you feel the need for a change of scenery. Whether you want to duck to the kitchen table or work from your backyard or balcony.
Invest In The Right Stationery And Home Office Supplies:
If you’ve landed here, you’ve probably already noticed the benefits of not using the same diary you keep your grocery lists and personal “life admin” in as you do your salary negotiations, boss’s birthday, passwords and mile-long professional to-do list. Keeping a work-specific planner, notebook and even pens can make the distinction between work and personal clearer in your mind and save you time rifling through paperwork.
