Having essential office supplies, like a computer, are not sufficient enough to make your office a functional one.
They might be the major requirements for an office but without other small additional things, they cannot give you a smooth workflow.
There are some other minor things and accessories that you will need to help you in your everyday work. Some of these will include;
Reading lamp
To complete a desk setup, you will need a reading lamp.
The type of lighting shall depend on your preferences. You should look for something that looks good and comfortable for the eye.
However, it is good to find a lamp that has adjustable specs, i.e brightness, positioning, color changer, power controls, and other things that can be changed over time.
Files
Proper documentation and organization in an office space are just as important as the work in the office itself.
A good office should be well organized and have its records in one place and arranged in an easily accessible manner.
Having files and other organizational tools is a must-have.
This will make it easy for you to work, and if someone else has to take over your work, it will also be easy for them.

However much everything these days seems to be tech-integrated and you can easily write something in a computer-generated note-taking app, I still believe writing down something on a piece of paper is important.
In my opinion, and the opinion of many others, the advantages of handwriting something outweighs the advantages of typing.
It is better at memory retention among other benefits. This is not a comparative analysis so, let’s just conclude by saying you need to have a notebook in your office.
Sticky notes are also a must-have for any office.
If you want to quickly write something that you might otherwise forget, you will need a sticky note.
Sticky notes have also been the traditional way of setting reminders not to run off schedule or forget someones’ important day.
You can also write on them a daily to-do list and check them out as you complete one task.
If someone stops by in your office while you are absent, then having a sticky note will be useful for them to write down what they had to say.
Heating pad
Winter is here. No one wants to work from a cold office space.
Part of productivity includes working in a conducive and comfortable environment.
This would mean somewhere warm and cozy.
To make your office space warm you might have to get some heating pads or better still, a … Read More..
