There’s something about working at an organized table that gets the brain pumping and the juices flowing. Your body’s electricity seems to turn on when the planners are up to date, the book holders are aligned, and your pens match your notebook. Things are in order, life is controlled, all is well and right in the world (within the privacy of your room at the least). Psychology Today reports that the way you set up your space says a lot about your identity and your mental state. A dirty desk shows signs of a cluttered mind, but take that with a grain of salt, for Albert Einstein pointed out, “of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” To avoid leaving your desk empty and lacking inspiration, scroll through these creative spaces that are totally conducive to good working habits.
