Minimal Moves, Maximum Zen: My Desk Setup Story

What’s on My Work Desk?

A Little Green, A Lot of Calm.

There’s something deeply personal about a work desk. It’s not just where you sit and hustle — it’s a space that carries your thoughts, goals, coffee breaks, and sometimes even your chaos. So what truly makes a desk yours?

For me, it’s the little things. And right at the top of that list — are my small desk planters

Here’s What’s On My Work Desk:

1. My Favorite Mug (obviously!)

Because what’s a workday without endless refills of chai or coffee?
(P.S. Mine’s from Earth Store — it's not just a mug, it's therapy with a handle.)

2. Small Desk Planters – The Real MVPs

This one change made the biggest difference to how my desk feels.
Tiny planters with jade, peace lily, or succulents not only add a touch of green but also a sense of calm.

Whether I’m stuck in back-to-back calls or chasing deadlines, just a glance at the greens softens the mood. No drama, no extra screen time — just nature, quietly existing and reminding me to breathe.

Why I love them?

• They take zero effort

• Look cute in literally every corner

• Make my desk feel alive

• And yeah, they survive my forgetfulness

3. Notebook & Pen

Because sometimes, digital to-do lists just don’t hit the same as a good old scribble.

4. Candle / Incense Stick

Work calls + jasmine incense = peace mode activated.

5. A Quote Card That Changes Weekly

Currently reads:
"You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be."

The Green Shift

Adding desk planters isn’t just an aesthetic choice — it’s a lifestyle shift.
It’s a way of saying, “Hey, I’m here, I’m grounded, and I’m growing… even if it’s just a few inches at a time.”

So the next time your workspace feels a little too serious, try adding a little leaf to it.
You’d be surprised how one tiny planter can make your 9 to 5 feel a bit more like 9 to fine.

Thinking of adding one to your desk?
Start small. Start green. Start happy.
