Whether you’re going to work or school, the accessories that sit on your work area can make a huge difference in your productivity. In fact according a University of Exeter study, people who were allowed to design their work area were actually up to 32 percent more productive — without making more mistakes! See, design can make a huge difference. That’s why Poppin founders entrepreneur Chris Burch, Bluefly.com founder Ken Seiff and former OfficeDepot.com executive Noah Maffitt, created a line of colorful office products. The more creative and visually appealing your work environment is, the more you’ll accomplish there. With around 16 colors — yellow, orange, coral, red, pink, lime green, mint, aqua, pool blue, navy, purple, black, light grey, silver and gold — to choose from, you’ll be sure to find something that fits your desk desires. You can add a little personality to your desk by decorating it with your favorite colors, or even the shades of your favorite sports team!
Not to mention, it also makes office culture more fun! Companies like Warby Parker, Theory, LinkedIn, Foursquare, the NFL and Birchbox have caught on and use Poppin supplies at their offices. With pen holders, trays, filing organizers, pens, scissors, calculators, rulers, tape dispensers, filing cabinets, notebooks, pouches, sticky notes, erasers, and more, there’s certainly a combination of everything you need in there. Go for as much — or as little, as you need to suit your personality. As their slogan goes, work happy! Keep it colorful! Keep it bright! Keep it entertaining. Keep it Poppin!
This Netflix thriller just became one of the streamer’s most-watched movies ever
The movie has earned favorable comparisons to Die Hard.
It turns out people like a good airport thriller. Variety is reporting that Carry-On, Netflix's holiday action movie set largely in an airport, is now the fifth most-viewed English language movie in the streamer's history. Carry-On achieved the designation on Jan. 7, hitting 149.5 million views since its release in December.
“More than the numbers, it’s seeing people’s reactions to the movie,” director Jaume Collet-Serra told the publication following the news. “I started getting a lot of calls and texts from friends and people who didn’t know I directed it. They didn’t know until they saw the credits and they were sending me texts that they loved it. I think at that moment I knew the movie was finding an audience and connecting to it.”
