Chin up. Here are a few useful space hacks to help yoube one with a smaller, more open workspace.

Shrink big. Collaborate, collaborate, and then collaborate some more. When there’s nowhere to hide, talk it out and make big ideas happen.

Organize for fun and sanity. Whether you’re using stacking trays, washi tape, or funky magnets, when your small space is in order, your mind will follow.

Control the noise. Buy a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Instrumental playlists and atmospheric sounds tune out distractions but let you concentrate on work.

Bring in the plants. A few strategically placed ferns serve as visual and sonic soft dividers that make workspaces feel more private.

Put a lamp on it. Buy a cool lamp and make the light more intimate and cozy. You’ll be more inspired, and your eyes will thank you.

Work from anywhere. The increasing mobility of business technology means you don’t need to stay in your cubicle to get work done. Work from home when it’s a viable option.
