The work environment has a huge effect on your attitude. Even if you arrive in a good mood, a bad work environment will quickly drag you down; taking away your positive energy and productivity.

Here are 3 small things that are dragging you and you coworkers down, and how to fix them:

Clutter and Disorder - If you aren't organized, then frustration sets in.Clear off your desk and put everything in it's place before you leave every day.

You'll start off the next day without having to hunt for whatever it was you were working on yesterday.

Try to do it before your lunch break too. That little bit of time spent cleaning your workspace will lower stress and keep you productive. Have a tiny space to work in? Shelving and file folders on the wall can make a huge difference.

Complaining - Everyone has something to complain about, especially at work, but complaining never solved a problem.

Be pro-active. Look for solutions. Have a grumpy coworker or boss? Don't complain about them.

You'll only breed more negativity. Instead think about them and what might be making them so negative. Try to bring positivity to their day with a thoughtful act or a complement. Even if they never stop complaining, remember it has nothing to do with you. Don't let them drag you down.

Office Gossip - Gossip will destroy team atmosphere of any successful office. So how do you stop it? When someone gossips to you about other co-workers, you need to act. Tell them directly "I don't want to hear gossip about coworkers".If that's too aggressive for you, simply change the subject. Soon they'll learn that to get your attention they have to keep the conversation positive. Whatever you do, don't ignore it. If you ignore gossip, the gossiper will think you are accepting it.
