These are great ideas to organize a workplace. 🙂
Personally, on everything I do, from working on my personal life to managing a business to organizing my work environment; I have one great productivity tip on mind. Setting big audacious goals. Because according to this awesome post I have recently bumped into; Productivity is not about accomplishing a list of tasks, it’s about achieving the big and important tasks that will make a difference in my life.
From then on, I experienced greater results of productivity. We should take a risk or something out of the ordinary to be able to see what kind of difference it’ll make in our life.
