Do You have Special Spaces for Brain Work?

The environment has a big impact on brain function and cognitive performance. Everything from sound, light, color, spaciousness, odors, temperature and even the clothes we wear impacts focus, creativity, memory and other mental functions. This means that tuning your environment is an important strategy for developing your Next Brain.

For example,  BrainWorld has an interesting post on how to create a comfortable study environment. Four factors are recommended including wear lose clothes, taking healthy snack breaks, remove distractions (e.g. TV and phone) and create a physically comfortable space but not one that invites sleepiness.  While these seem like simple ideas (and they are) I am surprised by how many students and clients don’t take the time to optimize their environments for study, learning, creativity or other mental tasks.

I am interested to hear from readers that have special spaces and environments for brain work.
