6 Ways to Increase Productivity Factor
Some days it could be overwhelming to stare at the stack of papers needed to be processed or project folders sitting at your desk “screaming” at you. It doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to tackle these tasks. Soon, you start jumping from one reactive behavior to the next one, from one interruption to an email. This takes your concentration away throughout the day making it difficult for you to complete projects and therefore decreasing your productivity factor.
What can you do to complete everything on your plate?
Benefits of Mounting your Flat Panel Monitor
Un-cluttering your cubicle working surface area for maximum productivity should begin with the removal of those elements that are not necessary. If you want to go the extra mile, mounting your flat panel monitor will be the next step, leaving you with more desk space.
Some cubicles have limited working surface. On top of this, your keyboard and monitor might take some of that working surface area you rather use for hand writing, reading and filling out paperwork. This makes you feel even more claustrophobic about working in this already uncomfortable environment.
Save desktop space and improve computing comfort! Mount your “Zero Footprint” Flat Panel Monitor weighing up to 20 lbs on your wall.
Features and Benefits
- Saves space by hanging zero-footprint flat panel monitor from the wall
- Use with Flat Panel Cubicle Hanger to hang two 17″ or three 15″ displays (depending on the manufacturer and model)
- Rotates monitor from landscape to portrait for more viewing flexibility
- Four-way, 90-degree tilt positions display for improved comfort and reduced glare
- Tilts 90º in all directions and rotates from landscape to portrait position.
This wall mount is great for the price. It extends about half a foot from the wall and tilts in every direction.
I use this LCD wall mounted to help me keep my back and neck straight throughout the day. To accomplish this, once installed raise the flat screen so your eyes are horizontally aligned with the center of the flat screen.

Why Cubicle Life feels like a Prison and How to Fix it
You are sitting in your cubicle and begin to get a little claustrophobic. The background noise and interruptions are making that seventh hour, a really slow one.
Why do we feel uneasy and might even hate our cubicles, managers, jobs, chairs, and co-workers?
Well, it all started several thousand years ago.
In his book [1] Brain Rules, Dr. Medina - a developmental molecular biologist, business consultant and director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University - shows how our brains really work, and why.
Brain rules might also explain why cubicle life feels like one in prison. Starting with spending 40 hours per week in a 10’ x 10’ cell with half an hour break and no windows, here is an inside of what does our brain “think” of this environment and why. No wonder its inventor, Robert Propst, lamented his unwitting contribution, before he died in 2000, to what he called “monolithic insanity.”
A Cubicle Cartoon Character
Pointless emails, lack of interest in learning coworker’s names, frustrations with interruptions and the perpetual wish of escaping the cubicle are topics portrayed in mylifeinacube.com site by Shane Johnson.
I can easily identify with the main character of this beautifully, yet minimalist, website. Most of Shane’s daily reflections have somehow happened, in one way or another, to us; the cubicle people.
