PM Career| How to Setup Your Desks

The environment has subconscious impacts. It affects your healthy habits like exercise and diet and can boost productivity. This blog will share three environment setup tips to stay organized at your working desk, computer desk, and browser home screen. 

The working desk centers with a dock for your computer and great monitors. A 180-degree view with one or multiple monitors can extend your idea to reduce the numerous window switches. The charging station needs to be handy, so all your gadget's batteries are charged fully for mobile service. A Bluetooth keyboard keeps your typing in the fitting gesture. A notebook for quick scripting and doodling to dump ideas from your mind. A cup mat holding water or coffee to help you stay hydrated. These are the basics. Yes, this is it. Keep the desk clean and functional. 

The computer home screen is like the desk in the virtual world. You also need to make it clean and clean it up regularly. Create an archive folder every month or quarter to clean up files. Take time to put all frequently used applications in the access bar on the bottom. Group them based on the functions for each lookup. Configure the auto-run applications. 

The browser shortcut bar is the home when we surf the internet. Create folders for your favorite and use icons for the most frequent ones if you don't like others to know what sharing your screen is. Note that now most browsers allow you to open all links within a folder altogether. My top icon includes the library's website, my notions home page, and project management tools, including Quip and Wrike.

It takes time to practice these suggestions, but your effort will pay back when you are more productive. ​
