In the present-day working environment, in a hurry to meet deadlines and be punctual for meetings, we all have some endearing peculiarities. These habits may seem trivial but they make our office routines appear more delightful.
1. Desk Plant Parenthood: You may have noticed at least one coworker who has transformed their desk into a kind of Greenhouse taking care of their beloved succulents or potted plants as if they were raising a little family of flowers which makes us smile at their commitment to their leafy friends.
2. Coffee Connoisseurship: Ahh, the sacred ritual of coffee runs at dawn. Whether it is picking out the perfect blend with great care, arguing about brewing methods or displaying an array of weird mugs, we all know someone among our colleagues whose love for coffee is just plain adorable.
3. Sticky Note Galore: Why go digital when you can have a variety of post-it notes stuck on your monitor? This paper square patchwork often seen on many tables will always remind us that creativity and practicality are two sides of the same coin giving us both useful tips and space for creative expression.
4. Snack Stashes: We all know that one colleague who always keeps a secret cache of treats in their desk. These might be chocolates to get through the afternoon or healthy food for energy while working, but they are certainly doing it right and we can’t help feeling envious.

5. Emoji Overload: Nowadays communication is incomplete without emojis in the digital era. Be it an email with a happy-looking smiley face or several love hearts on a slack message; emojis bring some fun into our workplace exchanges as well as tone expressions that words alone cannot sometimes do.
6. Dressing Up for Zoom: As remote work continues to grow, there is a new trend emerging – dressing up for virtual meetings. Fancy blazers over pajama bottoms, books placed strategically behind us…surely we have all tried something like this just to impress upon ourselves some semblance of fashion on Zoom?
7. Inbox Zero Obsession: For some people, achieving inbox zero is the ultimate accomplishment. By relentlessly clearing out their digital workspace and replying promptly to each email received, these dedicated individuals uphold admirable standards of organisational perfectionism that are both sweet and praise-worthy!
