Where we work and live has a tremendous impact upon our psychology and state of mind. Harmony or disharmony can affect us deeply and help to motivate or de-motivate us in important tasks.
We can’t always control where we work but we can do something about our home environment in order that it will support our enthusiasms and propel us forward in those projects that we focus on in our own time. So how do we create the most suitable place to spend our time?
Space
Tidy your work space and get rid of those little things that are annoying you or grabbing your attention. Bits of paper, marks on the wall, coffee stains all vie for our attention and need to be removed.
Sitting
Find yourself the right chair to sit on. This is crucial if we are to work in comfort and maintain productivity as bad posture will impact your efforts over time and could leave you with back problems. Equally, find a good position for your hands if typing for long periods – there are plenty of aids to cushion your wrists and forearms on the market.
Airflow
Plenty of fresh air is good for the brain and the soul so good ventilation should be a priority.
Music and ambient sound
Play some soothing music or anything that you find appealing as long as it doesn’t stop you from working. Many folks like rock music in the background, which is fine, as long as you can focus and not fill your time with air guitar!
