5 Tips for Creating a Productive and Comfortable Workspace

Introduction

A lot of people don’t wear earplugs when they sleep, but a study done by the National Sleep Foundation found that 70% of people over 65 who slept in their own homes and 40% of those over 80 wear earplugs as part of their bedroom habits.

Another study done by Consumer Reports also noted that most people aged 18 to 44 sleep with earplugs.

The study on sleeping with an earplug is based on data collected from 38 studies in the US, Canada and Europe between 2006-2010. The researchers gave 506 respondents in those studies a series of questions about the methods used for sleeping.

Participants were mostly women (73 percent) between 20 and 80 years old (75 percent), university graduates (67 percent) who had worked at least 20 years before the research survey was conducted, married or living with a partner (79 percent), taking into consideration that some older adults live alone, obese or having type 2 diabetes were excluded from participating in this particular study.

The investigators were surprised to learn that more than half of all participants had never tried using an earplug while they slept –only 3% said they had tried it at least once during the previous week! “Earplugs seem like a common practice,” says Brian D’Onofrio, Ph.D., senior author of the paper.”It’s amazing how many adults are unaware that these little devices could be helping them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer”.

More than half of all adults surveyed have never tried using an earplug while they slept – Only 3% have ever made use of one at least once during the previous week – Every year about 7 million Americans suffer from snoring due to obstructive sleep apnea – Over 90% snore aloud at least occasionally; Most experts agree that these individuals are not only suffering physically due to reduced oxygen flow during sleep, but

Wash your clothes each day before you put them in the laundry.

  • Wash your clothes each day before you put them in the laundry.

  • Don’t be afraid to walk around with a notebook or other reference material on your person. You’ll be more focused when you’re working and less likely to get distracted by excess clutter around you. If there’s anything that needs doing, write it down so it doesn’t slip through the cracks of your memory!

  • Turn off all electronics at least 20 minutes before leaving the office (or better yet, switch them off altogether). This will help keep distractions at bay while still giving you enough time for uninterrupted concentration on whatever task needs doing next—and perhaps even encourage some creativity along the way!

Wear loose-fitting clothing that will allow you to move during the day.

In order to be productive, you need to be comfortable. If you’re wearing tight clothes that make it hard for your body to move or stretch, then there’s a good chance that you’ll feel sluggish throughout the day. It’s also important not only because of how much pressure these clothes put on our bodies (we’ve all had those days where we just want some space between our neck and collarbone), but also because they can lead us into bad habits like sitting at our desks for long periods of time without moving around much or taking breaks regularly.

It may seem counterintuitive at first glance: if something feels more comfortable than other options, why would we choose them? But think about what happens when someone wears baggy pants or puts on their favorite pair of sneakers—they have an easier time moving around their workspace without feeling restricted by their clothing choices!

Keep a stack of index cards close by so you can easily write down ideas as they come to you.

One of the best ways to keep your workspace productive, comfortable and clutter-free is to have a stack of index cards handy. When you’re working on something, write down ideas as they come to you so that they can be filed away later. This will help keep things organized and make it easier for you to find what you need when needed.

Use your laptop’s screen brightness and speaker volume to help you work.

You’re probably familiar with the screen brightness and speaker volume buttons on your laptop. These can be useful for adjusting the lighting in a room, but they also make it easier to work when you have to sit close to your computer.

  • Use your laptop’s screen brightness and speaker volume to help you work: If you have an older model of computer (or if your laptop is used for other purposes) or if you have an especially bright room, turning down its brightness will help keep glare off of your eyes while still allowing enough light through so that everything looks clear and easy on the eye (and therefore makes it easier).

Place your coffee mug on a towel or saucer so it won’t make noise when you drum your fingers on it at night.

  • Place your coffee mug on a towel or saucer so it won’t make noise when you drum your fingers on it at night.

  • Keep the keyboard and mouse close together, not far apart (about 3 inches). This will help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries from working in front of a computer for long periods of time.

  • Make sure that there’s enough space between all of your furniture so you can move around easily without bumping into things or getting stuck behind them when moving around in your workspace area. If possible, try to have everything arranged so that the surface where people sit will be visible from where they’re sitting; this makes people feel more comfortable knowing where their chair is located relative to others’ chairs without having to look down every few minutes during conversation or work sessions.”

Make it easy for yourself to say no.

It’s important to remember that saying no isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, it can be the most effective way of saying yes when you know what you want and need out of your work space. The more organized you are with your time, the easier it will be for you to say no when things get overwhelming or distractive in order to focus on what truly matters—your career goals and personal happiness!

Your workspace is not just about work, it’s about being productive and comfortable, too

Your workspace is not just about work, it’s also about being productive and comfortable. In this day and age, there are many people who have to work from home. The best way to ensure that you are able to get the most out of your spare time is by creating an environment that makes you feel at home in both the physical sense (i.e., having an office with all your essentials) and mental sense (i.e., having a comfortable place where you can do your best work).
