Organize your workspace

Adopt a clean-desk policy (CDP).
Create a dedicated space for the incoming things.
Keep personal items to a minimum.
Get yourself a sit-stand ergonomic desk. Your desk height should let you place your feet flat on the floor.
The screen height of your monitor matters most so you are able to keep our neck straight.
Your keyboard position should be set so the elbows can be at 90 degrees angle to the chest.
Color yourself productive. Colors influence our moods and consequently, productivity and energy management.

Optimal Workspace Lighting

The best kind of light you can have in your office is natural light. It helps our bodies maintain our internal "clocks" or circadian rhythms which affects our sleep and energy.
Poor lighting, whether it's dim lighting or harsh lighting from overhead fluorescent lights, can cause eye strain, stress, and fatigue.
Don't sit with your back to a window unless you can shade it.
Don't sit facing a window because that will make reading a monitor difficult.
If you use a task lamp at your desk, position it so the bottom of the lampshade is at about the height of your chin when it's on.

Office Plants

Indoor plants prevent fatigue during attention-demanding work.
Even just having a window view of live greenery can be restorative and keep us focused.
A peace lily plant requires little sunlight to survive and you only have to water it when the soil is dried out and is also great for cleaning the air.
Cacti and aloe plants are other low-maintenance plants to consider.
