Boost productivity for 2025 by upgrading personal workspaces.
A clean, organised workspace can go a long way in helping to boost productivity and motivation, which will in turn help workplace performance. Their practical solutions can help to transform workspaces, without breaking the bank.
Step 1: Spring-clean the tech
After a well-deserved festive break, desks, headphones, devices and workspaces often accumulate dust and grime. A good clean can make a huge difference, such as being able to view the screen properly, ensuring the area is sanitary and making items look as good as new.
Cleaning tools for devices need to be slightly different than normal – for example, harsh chemicals won’t work on screens or metal laptops. A good idea is to invest in a cleaning tool set to keep gadgets sparkling and workspaces fresh.

Step 2: Light up the space
Good lighting isn’t just about seeing clearly – it’s about feeling energised and focused. Optimise workspaces with a touch-activated LED reading light bar, to reduce eye strain, improve visibility and work more efficiently, even during late-night hours.

Step 3: A cable hack
A cluttered workspace can hinder productivity. Simplify the set-up with cable ties, wall-mounted power outlets and a four-in-one wireless charger. These tools will help create a clean, organised and efficient workspace.

Step 4: Smart storage
Limited desk space can lead to clutter. A desk storage rack is a simple solution to keep work essentials within reach. It can be tucked under the desk, freeing up valuable surface area.

Step 5: Stay cool and focused
A small USB fan can provide a refreshing breeze, to stay alert and focused during long work hours. It also features an LED clock display, a practical and stylish addition to any desk.
