A clean and organized workspace gives you more energy, less stress, and better focus. With a few smart adjustments, you can create a more efficient, productive, and healthier workspace. Ready to refresh your desk for spring? Here are five simple (but powerful) steps!

1. Say goodbye to cable chaos – Time for an organized desk

We all know the struggle. Laptop charger here, internet cable there, phone charger always tangled… Before you know it, your desk looks like a spaghetti of wires.

Why cable management is essential:

  • A tidy desk = a clear mind – Less visual clutter, more focus.
  • No more dust buildup around cables – Prevents malfunctions and allergies.
  • Find everything quickly – Never waste time looking for the right charger!

How to keep cables neat and out of sight:

  • Use cable clips or a cable tray to neatly arrange your wires.
  • Store chargers and power strips in a cable box – no more messy cords!
  • Go wireless whenever possible – a wireless mouse, keyboard, and headset help reduce clutter

2. Adjust your screen to eye level – Avoid neck pain and fatigue

Sound familiar? You’re working, and before you know it, you’re hunching over, staring at your screen. By the end of the day, you feel it—tension in your neck and shoulders. The height of your screen plays a huge role in your posture. 


The right screen height = fewer aches and pains

  • Too low? You constantly look down, straining your neck.
  • Too high? You tilt your head unnaturally, leading to headaches.

  • The top of your screen should be at eye level.
  • Use a monitor armor laptop standto adjust the height.

3. Light and air – Work with natural light and plants

Lighting can be a game-changer—but only if it’s right. Too little light makes you tired and reduces concentration. Too bright or direct light causes headaches and screen glare. The right balance gives you more energy, less stress, and a more productive workday.


How to create a fresh and pleasant workspace:

  • Side lighting is best – prevents glare and screen reflections.
  • Use a EnergyByLight-lamp – simulates natural daylight and improves focus.
  • Add plants – creates a stress-free, pleasant atmosphere.
  • Ventilate regularly – fresh air prevents fatigue and headaches.
