Working from home can be equal parts blessing and curse. You have a degree of freedom that you wouldn’t have in an office, as well as all of the comforts of home at your fingertips throughout the day. But working from home can make you feel isolated, and a workspace that fails to inspire you can drain all of the excitement out of the perks that working from home can provide. To avoid this problem, try creating an inspiration corner.
What Is an Inspiration Corner?
An inspiration corner is a small space in your home, preferably near your workspace, in which you can display items that motivate and inspire you. Think about it like a three dimensional vision board; instead of gluing images to a poster board, you can display a wide range of objects that you love. Because your inspiration corner might contain any number of objects of varying shapes and sizes, it’s a good idea to put it on a bookshelf.
What Should Go into Your Inspiration Corner?
What you put in your inspiration corner is, really, up to you. Try starting with an item that reminds you why you work so hard—perhaps a framed photo of you and your spouse, a drawing your child made in school, or a letter from your grandparents. Once you have your anchor item, branch out and add anything that inspires you. From art to your favorite books, let your imagination (and your inspiration) run wild.
How Do You Use an Inspiration Corner?
Your inspiration corner is the perfect place to focus your attention when you need a bit of motivation. For instance, if you’re facing a challenge at work, take a look at your inspiration corner and let your mind wander a bit. This will help clear your thoughts and refocus on what really matters. Once you’re grounded, you’ll be able to look at the challenge from a fresh perspective.
