Office spaces are not that happening and comfortable to spend hours. But some changes can make them good at surviving. The point is that the right setup can even make working in offices more comfortable. Many employees want this transformation. It is efficient and necessary. In this post, you can see the difference between your working setup before and after changing it. So, let’s get into it!
Firstly, See Why One Screen Is Never Enough Anymore
Many people are still using a single screen for their work. But one screen can make you feel restricted. It will force you to keep switching between tabs, or dragging windows is annoying. Every second you spend rearranging things breaks your focus.

A dual-screen monitor setup with a Geminos dual-screen monitor removes that problem. You can write on one side and research on the other. Edit videos on one screen while checking feedback on the second. It feels smooth and natural. Your eyes move, but your work does not stop.

The Ulster Museum presents ‘How Do You Create a Community? The Inspiring Story of Belfast’s First Urban Gaeltacht’, an exhibition developed in partnership with Spórtlann na hÉireann’s GaelStair project, that explores one of the most remarkable linguistic and cultural revivals in modern European history. The exhibition is now open to the public following a special community launch event on Thursday 11th December.

In the 1960s a group of pioneering young couples in Belfast took the bold decision to establish Ireland’s first urban Gaeltacht at Shaws Road. Their determination, creativity and community spirit laid the foundations for a revival of the Irish language that continues to this day.

This new exhibition traces that journey and the work they did, from raising families and building homes, to founding schools, community enterprises and cultural activities, while exploring broader questions around language, courage, education and co-operation.

The worst areas for uninsured drivers in Northern Ireland have been revealed, with male motorists responsible for 8 out of every 10 offences.

Data obtained by CompareNI.com has uncovered the most prolific areas for insurance offences over the past year, with a total of 5,735 detected – more than any other type of motoring crime.

Police recently seized dozens of vehicles during a week-long blitz on uninsured drivers. The operation, which saw the PSNI work alongside the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), led to 58 motorists being handed £200 fines and six penalty points for driving without insurance.*

Figures show male drivers are committing more than five times the number of insurance offences as female drivers, with 4806 men detected compared to 920 women - meaning men accounted for 84% of all insurance offences carried out here between 1st September 2024 – 31st August 2025.
