The limited space is just my working zone, and it does not have a hold on the boundless thoughts and ideas my mind can carry. It is important to remind yourself that there is so much in your life that is outside of your work cubicle. This can range from what you do in your community, what you do with friends or family, and what you do for yourself and hobbies. There are so many people that you can connect with in and out of your workplace! Whether you do things with friends or on your own, there are so many things that you can do in your daily life that go to show who you are outside of work.

Work isn't everything for most people, and it shouldn't be. If you work in a cubicle, or if your work life is not very exciting, there are plenty of opportunities within your community to get involved in more than just work. Join a sports club, participate in activities with people that practice the same religion, start a book club, etc. Find people with similar interests as you so you aren't limited by your surroundings. If you can't find anyone in the area, plenty of people make friends online! A lot of people end up not doing what they really want to do because they didn't have the money, experience, etc. for achieve that. Try to incorporate what you really want into what personal time you have to make up for that (If you want to be a chef, try to cook a lot at home. If you want to be a singer, sing as much as you can).

Whether it's something like hanging out with your friends or reading or doing things with your family, you have to pick things that you feel are fundamental to your happiness and make them into "musts" and you try your best to do them, no matter what. On a more personal note, I personally believe that the U.S. has a problem with this more than some other countries, that businesses are allowed to take too much from their employees for too little in return. Obviously everybody must work, but a line needs to be drawn between living to work and working to live.

Working long days in a not so exciting environment can be stressful. Making sure you have something to look forward to each and every day can make you more productive and get you through the day faster and easier. (Vince Gallagher)

If you don't do something you love, you will dread working all the time which can lead to high stress and just a boring life. Doing something you enjoy and love will always leave you open to new things and gives motivation to wake up everyday and go to work. Honestly working in a cubicle isn't inevitable for some people. Some people just don't want to try which leaves them to no other option other than working in a cubicle.( Jaden Crudup)

Working from home for the first time in my adult life has been life-changing both good and bad. I constantly am questioning my worth as an instructor or educator teaching out of my home instead of the classroom. I don't want the physical barriers that prevent me from physically being in the same space as my students prevent me from being a good teacher.

Work should be comfortable but its also a place to work, there shouldn't be things around that distract me. Also, I would probably take breaks here and there, get up and move so that I'm not sitting in the same spot all day and I don't feel as if my life is just me sitting in a cubicle the whole time. It is important to understand that the cubicle and where you work does not define your life and that that space is just your working zone. It shouldn't trap your mind in any way because there are many ways and people to connect with and interact with.

I wouldn’t want to feel bored or uninspired in there because it would most likely reflect on how I act. I would also surround myself with things that make me happy. Then I would probably get a chair that requires me to move around or a desk that requires me to stand up so I’m not sitting for 8 hours straight. Then for my lunch I would pack something delicious from home so that I can enjoy myself. I just wouldn’t want to be bound to that boring work life so I would want to make my surroundings lively.

I would also make goals that I would like to accomplish each day or week and use it as a motivation as well. I also think it is important to surround yourself with the people who you enjoy talking to. Working in a cubicle can get boring for sure, but when you have something to look forward to whether it's hanging out with your friends or trying to accomplish a goal, time goes by fast and it helps you stay determined.

While your job may not exactly be the most fun thing in the world, you need to make it enjoyable as possible and try to do things to have it not be so stressful. Look forward to work, try not to dread it, and let your mind free.

Since it is a built-in cubicle, it can be customizable. Enjoy the simple things in life and get a chair that's more comfortable or a standing desk so you're not stuck sitting down for 8 hours a day.(Kevin Lucas)]]> 2020-11-06 15:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cs3505/7ttdulgsqe7djvxs/wish/897865002 https://padlet.com/cs3505/7ttdulgsqe7djvxs/wish/897900354 In order to prevent your surrounding from hindering your ability to work and life, you need to surround yourself with things that you are interested in and things that will make you comfortable. You want to not feel forced to go work and dislike what you are doing. Surrounding yourself with things like pictures and paintings can give you visuals that can raise your mood and can help you work better. Separating work from home life if available, becoming friends with coworkers is better for the workplace but you do not want to think of them as coworkers if you aren't at work. You don't want your entire life to revolve around working because it will cause stress.

As small as it seems but your happiness-mental health is always priority. why do something for the rest of your life that makes you feel obligated to be doing it instead of having fun and doing the most because it makes you happy. it’s always about having time and making time as well not just for working. It’s a long life we still gotta make it enjoy full as you can. i tend to think about this a lot and this may be a good part of the question
, “ are we feeling this why because we are not satisfied we’re not doing the most or are we just doing things that have less  or no spark to us”.

Instead of just focusing on what is going on inside of that cubicle, I can consider what it means for the real world and how what I am doing affects me. Additionally, I can ensure that my work stays at work and it doesn't invade the rest of my life. By keeping the cubicle mindset contained in the cubicle, I prevent it from limiting the rest of my life.

You don't want things that distract you from your work and keep you from doing well and succeeding. You should set goals for yourself and take a step towards them everyday. (Ewen Zhuo)

As we spoke about this in class, you dont want to make your surroundings too comfortable to the point where you dont want to leave but i believe you should make a healthy environment. Making things like goal boards or things that encourage you would make an area that you could easily work in. Making sure that you have a good seat is important. Not a seat that makes you so comfortable that you could stay for too long but one that gives support and wont hurt you. Things like this make a work environment good or not. ]]> 2020-11-07 05:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cs3505/7ttdulgsqe7djvxs/wish/899674041 https://padlet.com/cs3505/7ttdulgsqe7djvxs/wish/911389788 To prevent your surroundings from getting in the way of your work, it would be a good idea for you to set goals to keep motivating you to do your work no matter how boring it may be. Surround yourself with people and things that push you up and not bring you down. Sit somewhere where you are comfortable and looking forward to engage in you studies. Look forward to getting things done (work/school) don't drag it with a negative mindset. (Delilah Rivera)
