Ever found yourself dozing off at your desk. That's probably because it's dim-lit. Make sure that there are bright lights at your desk so that you don't feel sleepy or bored. The lights will also help keep you focused.
13/16Add mirrors
According to feng shui philosophy, mirrors are a symbol of creative energy. Make sure you place the mirrors that reflect things that bring you joy, like the view outside your window or a piece of art you love. Your desk according to feng shui should be in a "command position". NYC-based feng shui architect Anjie Cho told a news portal: "When your desk is in command, you're able to focus and concentrate because you are in visual and energetic command of the environment."
14/16Add inspiring objects
Decorating a space can be extremely exciting. However, don't fill it with junk. Add pieces to the area that are at value for you. If you are feeling lost in this area, make a list of the things that inspire you. It could be a book or a special photograph.
15/16Add natural elements
Adding plants to workspaces have been found to have loads of benefits. Do a little research and find houseplants that work for your space. "Bringing the outside in helps create mental serenity in your workspace, which leads to overall physical and emotional well-being," Laurence Carr, a holistic interior designer, told a news portal. Taking time to water your plants can also make for a peaceful work break.

Feeling confined can put a real damper on your creative flow. Move around whenever you can. Maybe you can move from your desk to your dining table.

A change of place even for a few minutes can do wonders.
