1. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF LIGHT.
Lighting is essential when it comes to preventing eye strain and headaches. Natural light is best, so ensure your window treatments allow sufficient daylight through. In the evenings, you’ll need both general and task lighting. Opt for warm white, which best mimics natural daylight.
2. KEEP YOUR ROOM COOL.
Studies have shown that temperature can have a significant impact on your concentration and memory. The optimal temperature for focused work is 23 to 25 deg C. While this varies between individuals, it’s generally agreed that a working space that is too warm can be most detrimental, causing alertness and energy levels to plummet. Keep your study cool with air-conditioning or a standing fan next to your desk.
3. AIM FOR A CLUTTER-FREE STUDY.
A clean study helps the mind to focus. Keep essentials organised on your desk. The rest of the clutter should be stored out of sight. It’s also a good habit to set aside time for tidying your study after you complete your work. This simple routine ensures that you start each day on a fresh, distraction-free note.
4. OPTIMISE THE AIR QUALITY.
