I’ll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊
I just started this job, but I’m trying to make myself feel a bit more cozy, since the work can feel a bit heavy sometimes.
Curious what others do to make their environment a little nicer. :)
I listen to different kinds of music over my headset (keep one ear uncovered, so it doesn’t seem too rude/uninterested). Lately it’s mostly been video game music and AURORA.
Also, when I get the chance, I dabble a little deeper into programming Excel with VBA (although much of my job has me working with spreadsheets, so it’s only natural for me to try and optimise them).
