Level Up Your Workstation for Maximum Productivity

By Presto
20 November 2023

Your workstation is more than just a desk and a chair; it’s the epicenter of your productivity. A well-organized and ergonomic workspace plays a pivotal role in enhancing focus, creativity, and overall efficiency.

Whether it’s at your home office or the corporate setting, optimizing your workstation is a direct investment in your performance and well-being. Read on to find out how you can level up your workstation!

Ergonomic Setup

First things first: prioritize ergonomics. Adjust your chair to a comfortable height that supports your posture, keeping your feet flat on the floor and knees at a 90-degree angle.

Ensure your monitor is at eye level, allowing you to work without straining your neck. An ergonomic setup significantly reduces discomfort and helps you focus better on tasks.

Organization is Key

A cluttered workspace often leads to a cluttered mind. Invest in organizers, trays, or shelving units to declutter your desk. Keep essential items within arm’s reach and stow away unnecessary items.

Maintaining a clean and organized environment promotes mental clarity and minimizes distractions.

Lighting and Ambiance

Proper lighting can do wonders for your productivity. Natural light is ideal, but if that’s not possible, opt for adjustable desk lamps that mimic natural lighting.

Adjust the brightness to reduce eye strain and create a comfortable atmosphere. Incorporating plants or personalized decor can also enhance your mood and motivation.

Workstation Enhancement: 11% OFF on all Xiaomi Products
For a seamless workstation upgrade, consider Xiaomi’s range of efficient and innovative products—from a wireless mouse for effortless navigation to a smart air purifier ensuring clean, fresh air in your workspace.

Enjoy an exclusive 11% OFF on all Xiaomi products at Presto! Unlock additional savings up to RM11 by using our coupons during checkout. And don’t forget, you can opt to redeem these Xiaomi products using your accumulated loyalty points, saving your hard-earned cash for other essentials!

At Presto, we believe in the power of home-cooked dishes to bring joy and warmth to the celebration! Check out these delicious Deepavali recipes that you and your loved ones can cook at home:

Recipe: Onion Bhajis

Kick off your Deepavali culinary journey with the all-time favorite, Onion Bhajis! This crispy and flavorful appetizer is a must-have for your festive table. Here are the ingredients and steps to make your own onion bhajis:

Ingredients

• 2 onions, finely sliced

• 100g gram flour

• ½ tsp gluten-free baking powder

• ½ tsp chilli powder

• ½ tsp turmeric

• 1 green chilli, deseeded and very finely chopped

• vegetable oil for frying

For the raita

• ½ cucumber

• 150g tub Greek-style yogurt

• 2 tbsp chopped mint

1. Preparation:

   • Soak chopped onion in cold water.

   • Make base mix: Combine sifted flour, baking powder, chili powder, turmeric, chopped chili, salt, and about 100ml of cold water. Adjust water for desired batter consistency.

2. Raita Preparation:

   • Grate peeled cucumber into a sieve over a bowl.

   • Mix cucumber with other raita ingredients, draining excess moisture. Transfer to a serving bowl.

3. Prep for Frying:

   • Drain soaked onion and add to the batter.

   • Heat 5cm of oil in a wok or deep pan. Test oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter. Once it browns, the oil is ready.

4. Frying:

   • Lower spoonfuls of the bhaji mixture into the hot oil, cooking until evenly browned and crisp (approximately 3-4 mins). Turn them once during cooking.

   • Drain fried bhajis on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm while frying the rest.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the bhajis with the prepared raita.

Recipe: Chicken Drumsticks with Cashew & Turmeric

Elevate your Deepavali feast with a main course that’s both succulent and rich in flavor. Chicken drumsticks marinated in a mix of cashew paste, yogurt, and aromatic turmeric result in a dish that’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Here are the ingredients and steps:

Ingredients

• 75g cashew nuts

• 1 lemon, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve

• 150g strained Greek yogurt (use regular Greek-style yogurt if you can’t find strained)

• 50g ginger, peeled and finely grated

• 8 garlic cloves, crushed

• ½ tsp ground turmeric

• 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder

• ½ tsp carom seeds (ajwain – optional)

• 1 tsp garam masala

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• ¾ tsp cracked black peppercorns

• 50ml double cream

• 12 chicken drumsticks, skinned

• 50g ghee or 75ml sunflower oil

• 1 small red onion, cut into rings, to serve

1. Cashew Paste Preparation:

   • Soak cashew nuts in boiling water for at least 2 hours to soften. Drain and blend in a food processor with lemon juice until smooth.

2. Marinating Chicken:

   • Mix the cashew paste with yogurt, ginger, garlic, spices, and cream in a large bowl.

   • Make slashes on chicken drumsticks, coat with the spiced yogurt mixture, and marinate for 1-2 hours in the fridge, or overnight if possible.

3. Preparation for Baking:

   • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat ghee/oil in a roasting tin until very hot.

4. Baking the Chicken:

   • Place the marinated chicken in the tin in a single layer. Spoon half of the marinade over the chicken and bake.

   • After 15 mins, turn the chicken, spread the remaining marinade, and bake for another 15 mins until juices run clear when pierced with a knife.

5. Grilling and Serving:

   • Grill the chicken on the highest setting for 3-4 mins until browned.

   • Transfer the chicken to a serving dish, garnish with red onion rings, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

2. Pastry Preparation:

   • Mix flour, salt, oil, and water to form a firm dough. Knead for 5-10 mins, rest for 30 mins covered in cling film.

3. Pastry Shaping:

   • Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into a 15cm circle, then cut into halves.

   • Moisten edges, shape each half-circle into a cone, fill with 1 tbsp of the cooled mixture, seal edges.
