Pin Boards or Marker Boards
We all need to keep a list of points or a to do list for every day. If possible have a small Pin board or a Marker board where you can keep all the to do lists or the pending lists. If not, you can still use a small space of your desk to keep all the sticky notes which will remind you of the daily pointers.
Good Music can be your friend

A good music can always help you to enhance your mood. Whenever you need a break from your work or while working switch on your favorite playlist and relax!!

So whenever you can take that time off to lighten yourself.
