My work space may not look like anything significant or special to someone, but it is incredibly special to me. As you can notice, my desk does not contain much material on it. That is so I do not get easily distracted and halt my train of thought and a consistent basis. I often just have my materials that I need for that specific task because that is how I am the most productive I could be. I also have a poster of my favorite athlete of all time on my wall, and this serves a bigger purpose than one may think. Allen Iverson was the most creative basketball player ever, so he reminds me to always be creative, thoughtful, and work to impress people. He also went through a tragic and tough childhood, so he teaches me that if he made it, I can too; just not an NBA player. I also have a coffee machine on my desk because I love drinking coffee and it keeps me focused while doing work. My desk is under my bunk bed in my dorm room so it allows me to have my phone completely out of sight, (On top of my bed) because my cell phone is the biggest distraction to my work production. I will so easily get caught up in social media and not even realize that I have had work on the screen for two hours that I have yet to start. My room is also a very quiet place and I often get distracted with noise, especially while reading. My roommates play a huge factor in this to allow me to work to my full potential in my favorite spot to work that I have come across. One of my most key components to my workspace is the lacrosse head I keep on my desk. This reminds me to put in the same amount of effort and determination in my school work that I do in lacrosse. Dale Carnegie’s workspace is similar to mine because we both keep a few key items on our desk (They probably mean something to him). Also, we both have a window that we can turn to look out of, but our desk is not directly in front of the window, so we will not get distracted. He looks to be in a quiet room as well.
