A study recently revealed that going to work is the one of the most miserable things for some people, second only to lying sick in bed. Many companies do not consider the aesthetics of their workspaces and do not understand the power that workspace design can have on keeping employees motivated and engaged.

If you happen to work in an environment that looks nothing like a Google headquarters or Williams-Sonoma, Inc (DREAM!!), then there are easy ways to elevate your personal workspace to make it more comfortable for you and less sterile. Bring a little dish for holding things like coins or business cards along

with something cute that would look nice on a stack of file folders or next to research materials, like this golden ball from Pottery Barn. These subtle touches

of style can help your workspace feel more like you - so you can hopefully

enjoy your time at the office a little more.
