Notes

Optimizing your workspace

Keep the room in warm temperature & Ensure good ventilation for fresh air circulation.
Natural light is crucial for maintaining energy levels and improving mood. Position your desk near windows to take advantage of the sunlight throughout the day.
Incorporate Greenery: Adding plants to your workspace can improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. Choose low-maintenance plants such as succulents or pothos that thrive indoors with minimal care.
Standing & sitting up straight while looking at a screen (or book) that is elevated to slightly above eye level will generate maximal levels of alertness
The Cathedral Effect [@meyers-levyInfluenceCeilingHeight2007]
- High versus low ceiling can prime the concepts of freedom versus confinement, respectively.
- Working in high ceiling spaces elicits abstract thoughts and creative ideation, whereas working in low ceiling spaces promotes concrete and detail-oriented work.
- When you spend time in large, open, and bright spaces, your mind becomes inspired and you starts to think bold. Big spaces catalyze big thinking.
Designate Zones for Different Tasks: Create distinct zones for various activities such as computer work, reading, or brainstorming sessions. This can help in transitioning mentally from one type of task to another more efficiently.
