Most of the time we naturally blame lack of sleep and/or our diet; however, as true as this maybe the ambience in your workspace also plays a major role in keeping you energized and efficient. If you work for ling daytime hours, then a healthy breakfast consisting of food high in energy is important and simultaneously having a work space that sparks your creativity is just as important. Here are a few tips on how you can make your workspace the most efficient and comfortable for you;
