I’ve seen pictures of posters having inspirational quotes
stuck on the walls of workplaces of tech giants and since the very first
picture, I decided that I’d do it too when I have mine. It wasn’t too late
until I realized that it takes a lot more to be one of those tech giants who
have their own superb-looking workplaces. So I thought, why not do it while I’m working on my way there. It
wasn’t until last week that I was adding posters to my cart on an
online-shopping website that it hit me that I’m not sure at what place I’ll be
sticking those, just because I thought that I’m not home 80% of the year and
they won’t stay intact in my room at the hostel for a month.
Are you sure you want
to remove all the items from your cart? YES.
Turns out that most of the time I’m productive is when I’m
on my computer, so it would be the best to have something like those posters
visible to me when I’m actually productive. Hmm, I don’t have a specific place
I use my computer on. Sometimes it’s the bed, sometimes it’s the desk and the
others it’s someplace random I find comfortable lying at.
A quick Google search and I had about a hundred inspirational
quotes to myself. I had this desktop wallpaper that was minimalistic as well as
visually appealing to me. Why not put the
quotes right here on the desktop instead of having posters. You can have a
hundred wallpapers and they wouldn’t take as much space as a hundred posters
would.

Looked through the list of the quotes I had and trimmed them
down to seventy of those which weren’t too long and were actually
inspirational. Next thing I know, I’m typing those off on various Photoshop
files. So, I have to myself 70 wallpapers full of inspirational quotes.
Next thing I had to do is to have Windows automatically change the wallpapers one by one. If you go
to the Personalize menu by right-clicking on your desktop, you’ll see
a Desktop
Background option on the bottom. Hit that and change the Picture
location to the folder where you have stored all those images. Select
all seventy of them, set the Picture position to fill,
set the time for changing the pictures, select Shuffle it you like
randomness like I do, and deselect the When I’m using battery power,... option
and hit Save changes. Voila, you’re done.
Where do you get all those wallpapers, you ask? Well,
they’re right here: 70 Inspirational Quotes’ Wallpapers. The file is a ZIP
~5.35MB in size and the resolution of the wallpapers is 1366 x 768. Extract the
file in some folder and follow the steps mentioned above and you’ll have a nice
background that’s bound to energize you over time.
Also, I spent a couple of hours doing all of this. So, if
you’d give the credit to me, that’d be great! Cheers!
Leave a comment down below if you’re experiencing problems with
downloading/extracting the file or setting up changing backgrounds on Windows
and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
