10 ways to love your office for Valentine’s Day

by Jennifer Hofmann on February 12th, 2008

Ages ago, Kitty Kallen sang “little things mean a lot” and it’s still true - for your office.

This Valentine’s Day, put on this crooner and take some time to show your office how much you care with these 10 little things.

Clean your windows - Even if you have a cleaning service, completing this oft-neglected task can bring more sunshine into your life. A little spritz of water and a soft rag will do the trick.

Dust - In fung shui, dust represents dead energy. With rag in hand, give your office an invigorating feeling with some fresh energy (not to mention a little cardio for you!).

Vacuum - Think of the billions of particles on your floor that will be whisked away in just a few short minutes.

Put on some tunes - Artists get a lot of their creativity by listening to music they like. Whether it’s smooth or rockin’, music at the right moments will energize you at work.

Buy flowers - Get some lovely cut stems and put them in a simple vase of water - you’ll be delighted with how you feel looking at them.

Write a note - Write yourself a note of inspiration while you’re in the mood and post it on FutureMe.org. They’ll send it back to you a year later like a message in a bottle.

Take out your trash/recycling - When you let it pile up, it can drag you down. Take a moment to put your refuse where it belongs so it can move along.

Hang up something you love to look at - Have a favorite photo of your pet or your family vacation? Go dig it out and place it somewhere you’ll see it.

Defrag your hard drive - Before you go out for the evening, set up your hard drive to refragment. You know you’ve been meaning to.

Give it a rest - Now, go spend some time doing something besides work - you both would benefit from some time off. ;)

Happy Valentine’s Day - thanks for reading!

    Great suggestions! My office tends to get terribly piled up sometimes, but after I have spent time cleaning and organizing it, I like it much better. I feel like a breath of fresh air has just passed through! Thank you.
