Spring is the time of in-between—at least for me. I don’t have quite enough energy to jump out of bed in the morning, but I do feel a little more motivation to tackle my to-do list. I find myself dusting off colorful pens, looking for a new candle to light, feverishly decluttering my desk drawer, and get this—actually putting on a colorful sweater for my meetings. Every day brings a little bit more progress than the last, until eventually, I feel fully refreshed and ready to hit the ground running.
I have one straightforward goal in the spring: re-focus, remind myself of the goals I set for myself at the top of the year, and actually enjoy the process of tackling them. I’ve found that one of the easiest, most motivating ways to do that is by refreshing my surroundings—namely, my desk space, where I spend most of my time. After a few years of repeating this endeavor in the spring, I’ve narrowed down must-haves for spring work days. The 26 spring desk essentials I’m sharing ahead will bring energy, clarity, focus, and straight-up enjoyment to your workday. Ahead, the answer to more focus and productivity than you’ve seen in months.
