An inspiring desktop wallpaper can boost your productivity and performance. Need more proof? Here are three surprising ways you’ll benefit from a wallpaper!
Did you know that the average American wastes over 5 hours a week searching for documents or missing information? That’s over 30 days worth of wasted work every year!
Having an unorganized computer screen and workspace is the first step to getting more done during the day.
Don’t let a bad desktop wallpaper stand in the way of your best work.
Read on for 3 ways your desktop wallpaper can boost your productivity.
#1 Wallpapers Can Inspire
Here are a few inspiring wallpapers to consider:
Nature Scenes
Having a beautiful outdoor vista visible at all times during your day in the concrete jungle can feel like a breath of fresh air.
Researchers at the University of Michigan found that students who took a short break walking through a nature-filled arboretum tested higher than those who walked down a city street.
You might not have time for or access to a nature walk, but adding a nature scene to your wallpaper can definitely start you off right.
For some, a beach scene will relax and inspire you. For others, a mountain or forest scene will provide some extra focus.
Travel Photos
Studies have shown that employees who use their vacation time are more productive at work. Why not channel a little of that productive energy into your everyday work life.
You might choose an image of a place you’ve been to and loved (you could even use a photo you’ve taken). This will transport you to a positive mindset.
Or perhaps you could use a photo of a place you want to visit. This could motivate you to work your hardest so you can go on a well-earned vacation.
Either way, choose a destination that helps you to power through those long days!
#2 Your Desktop Wallpaper Can Be Your Own
Using a customized wallpaper can help you feel more comfortable in your workplace.
Create a custom computer wallpaper for free using your favorite colors and some text from one of these categories:
Motivational Quotes
Is there a business guru, entrepreneur, or influencer who has inspired your work? Find a quote that speaks to you. You’ll have to read their words every time you make your way to that tempting solitaire game. It might make staying focused and motivated easier.
Self-Affirmations
It’s not news that self-affirmations promote a healthier self-image and direction. Confidence is key to productivity. Replace the motivational quote with a few self-affirmations to increase your confidence throughout the workday.
#3 They Can Help You Declutter
You can use a desktop wallpaper with divided sections to organize apps/programs, folders, and documents. Whether you have colored quadrants or linear sections using a categorized wallpaper can help you declutter your desktop.
That way you can spend less time looking and more time working.

Remember This
Whatever you decide to do, it’s time to nix the boring background and optimize your space with a custom desktop wallpaper!
