Pick out multi-purpose furniture :

A multi purpose table with  utilitarian drawers is a workaholic's dream! Have a comfortable chair , and bring the entire work set-up  closer to the pockets of natural light.

Curate a 'me' time corner :

Spanned out spaces are an open invitation to aesthetics experiments. A quiet reading nook with a modest chair or a comfy couch can be a great addition that brews energy in the otherwise still space.. Introduce some interesting partitions that promise privacy while making a great background for task schedules and charts.

Find what inspires you :

Think of that one line which cheers you up or motivates you. You can either create a collage of quotes in a photo frame or just pick one or two quotes and put them up.

Keep your achievements close :

Dedicate a row for the medals and awards you won. For nothing can be more encouraging than looking back at your accolades.

Pots of positivity :

Replace the mustiness of piled up office supplies with aromatic bonsai and air plants. You could either place  fresh lavender and roses in flower pots on your desk or keep a brass plate  on the top of the shelf with some jasmine flowers sprinkled with water.
