10 Ways to Relax Your Workspace

Does your workspace feel inviting or does it make you want to cringe? Remember, where we work, we live as well. Our desire to work should come out of a sense of passion and drive. But an unorganized or boring work environment will dramatically stunt our productivity.

It’s not just about how our workspace looks though, it’s how it feels that creates the feeling of a relaxing space. Even more, it’s how we work.

Add some nature. Photos, plants or even small aquarium. Watching nature videos at http://www.relaxwithnature.com can help to reduce stress too.

Another thing I've found is playing with the lighting. In my oh so exciting beige cubicle, which I still need to do more to, one of the things that I've found that helps is putting in a small table lamp.

Just being able to get some light that isn't fluorescent has been a huge improvement. I still have to put up with the overall lighting, but the small lamp helps warm the place up a bit.

Oh yes, I know the cringe of coming to work to my boring, gray cubicle. I agree with your tactics. I think adding living things (plants, flowers, maybe fish) can help too. Also, music can be a great thing to get you through the day.

Millennials Want to Start Families

Blake Sunshine

In fact, 82 percent of Millennials think they will be married for life, which is you look at today’s divorce rate is clearly idealistic.

Fallen Off the Career/Job Search Wagon?

Jenn Pedde

There are something like 15 million people out there right now without jobs. I believe the average length of the job searcher is 7 months unemployed. Luckily things are turning around, and jobs are being created, but it has led me to be thinking about this 7 months marker.

Life. Is. A. Secret. Game.

Shane Mac

I sit. Thinking. Smiling. Reflecting. Wondering… About all of the people, the moments, the times that have changed my life. How did my path lead to where I am? Why do I feel so fortunate for everything that I have? Why am I typing and smiling so cheesy that the coffee shop barista...

Amybeth Hale

I believe there’s a lot of untapped gold on Twitter when it comes to searching for job candidates. The thing you need to keep in mind is that there is more than one type of job seeker on Twitter. Here are the two types of active job seekers I’ve noticed on Twitter:

5 Ways to Not Be a Complete SAP on Social Media

Kyle Lacy

Where do you draw the line as a person and as a brand? I think the issue I am having with so much irrelevant content is that… it is not new… it is not fun… if I wanted an ego boost I would turn on Joel Osteen or Tony Robbins. And most of all… it is not real.

Round Three or Not Round Three: Part One

Scott Shrum

This is the time of year when, every time the phone rings here at Veritas Prep HQ, there's a good chance it's an applicant calling to ask us if he should apply to business school in the third admissions round, or if he should wait until next year. The answer, as is the answer for most things in life, is "It depends."

Keeping Your Personal Brand Fresh

Jason Mollica

When I embarked on my blog journey last December, I thought of it as just an extension of who I was, professionally and personally. I also looked at the blog as a way of being creative. It’s become more than that to me and those of you that read this. My blog is now part of my personal brand.
