7 Things you need on your desk

I am typing this article behind my desk at the office, obviously. On my right is Jet, but I can barely see her through all the mess. Liesbeth thinks she’s very structured with her trays and staplers but beside her desk there are piles of empty ASOS boxes and the rest of her stuff she drops into her drawers. There is still a lot to be done here.

My desk, on the other hand is neatly organized, I can’t stand messy desks. They make me nervous and I get easily distracted when working or drawing. Invest in these five items to make your desk look tidier so you will enjoy working there even more.

good scissors

I think a pair of good scissors is very chic. The one by Hay is gold colored making it a luxury item. If parcels come in i open them with pleasure and a pair of good scissors will always come in handy.

Nice pen

Ever since I’ve known May she always writes with her fountain pen. It looks nice in her schedule and makes every letter even more personal and impressive. A good fountain pen is a real investment.

Note book

A notepad or notebook is good as gold. You can give your ideas and squiggles their own spot (you need a lot of pages) and it looks cool in the workplace.

storage box

I know bits and bobs end up on your desk that you need to store. Paper clips, nail polis hand elastics for example. A storage box, you can close. You can put everything in and close the lid. No one will see any junk.

water jug

A must-have. This way you won’t have to walk to the kitchen every time you need a refill. There’s a jug on your desk. Fill it with lemons and limes and you’ll stay fresh all day.

Radio

Music always works. Quietly in the background.

Hand lotion

For necessary relaxing.
