What is something you do at work to make your day a little nicer for yourself? - Beehaw

I’ll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊 I just started this job, but I’m trying to make myself feel a bit more cozy, since the work can feel a bit heavy sometimes. Curious what others do to make their environment a little nicer. :)

Find a sense engaging ritual and do it regularly.

For me it was having elaborate spice teas or herbal teas. I’d mix up batches and keep it in the office, when I needed some sanity taking the time to just focus on a damn good cup of tea helped me relax some.

A treat you enjoy, a stretching routine whatever you can do that is highly engaging would be a good choice. Force work out of your head even for 5 minutes. We aren’t meant to work like a steam engine.
