We all live in a world full of distractions where it takes real effort to stay focused. This is especially true when we work from home, which a lot of people prefer to do nowadays.
I read about “environment design.” and been really keen on knowing more and hence thought that is what i will share it with my community today:
“Environment Designing” means arranging our surroundings to help us do things more effortlessly.
For instance: if there’s a cookie on the kitchen counter, we’ll end up eating it just because it’s there, not because we are hungry.
I’ve been applying this at a few places at home to boost my productivity when working from home. Here are a few for you:
- To Get better sleep: I follow a routine before bedtime ( Journaling) and avoiding coffee after 3:00 pm, keeping the room dark and cool as i had sleep issues earlier and would function with 3-4 hours of sleep, however, now am aware how much Good sleep is essential for focus, memory, and learning.
- Moving my body: I make sure i get out of the house within 1 hour of my wake up and keep my gym clothes ready in the night so that its right Infront of me and i also assign a few important task after 1.5 hours so that i finish my workout within that one hour and have space for the next task.

- Hydrate: I make sure to fill 4 water bottle around the places where i spend most of the time in the entire day and have kept an alarm after every 45mins to sip water. we tend to focus on a lot of other things and miss on these very small yet vital ingredient for out body. Staying hydrated is important for the brain to work well. ( You can give it a try)
