10. Use Unusual Items to Better-Organize Your Workspace

I organize a large portion of my home office with the help of kitchen objects. For example, bowls are great for both general offices supplies and CDs/DVDs. A lunch tray can also make a handy drawer organizer. When I initially posted these options, our friends over at Unplggd came up with a few more, such as this napkin holder as a tablet stand. The idea is pretty simple: just because it was designed for your kitchen doesn't mean it won't be a very useful upgrade for your workspace. In fact, it might be really great.

9. Implement the Reproducible Elements of the Locations Where You're Most Productive

Whatever the case may be, location makes a difference for everyone in different ways. If you pay attention to your emotional responses to locations when working, you can start to dissect why those locations make you more productive. Doing so gives you an opportunity to identify elements in certain locations that you can reproduce later. You may not always be able to transport yourself to the place you find that you're most productive, but if your office can feel a little more like that location you can tap into what makes it your favorite place to work.
