I bought this placemat recently and I found that it\u2019s a great additional to my desk.

I personally like outdoorsy scents because it helps me stay energized, but I switch up my candles depending on my mood!\r\n\r\nI have a large wall clip frame that I use to pin stickers, loose notes, or reminders. It\u2019s super useful and a great way to make sure I don\u2019t lose any of my loose notes. If I have a test coming up, I'll pin up some quick notes so that I can conveniently re-read them.\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_41789\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41789\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41789 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"a wall clip frame with notes clipped on, stickers, and flowers on the side\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0190.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a wall clip frame is great for displaying notes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nI hope you were able to find some inspiration on ways to decorate your own desk\/workspace.
