Why we tend to work in the most unfavorable of conditions

It’s down to stress: because of stress, we often seek out conditions that harm rather than assist productivity. We forget about the things that make us feel, and work, better; things that matter for productivity including comfort, circulation and hydration; everything is subsumed by the approaching deadline. In order approach this problem from a natural health perspective, we have to be proactive about keeping ourselves comfortable. In this respect, comfortable means: low on the pain and muscle tension, and high on factors such as circulation, hydration and happiness. Our environment sets us up for success.

Setting the right environment for being productive

The amount of perceived pressure surrounding a given deadline will remain the same, but you can tilt the odds in your favor by setting yourself up in a comfortable work environment.

• Ergonomics: support neutral posture! Even a rolled up jacket can make a difference for reducing spinal pressure and helping you mitigate pain before it strikes.
• Temperature: cold is distracting; too warm makes you sleepy. Find the right medium-warm temperature that will keep you the most comfortable.
• Light: bright, natural light contributes to feelings of happiness and productivity; make sure to keep your computer screen at medium contrast to prevent eye strain.
• Deep breathing: to improve oxygenation of the brain and embattled muscles.
• Frequent breaks: to shake out the tension and boost circulation.
• Posture resets: even the simple act of sitting up straight is linked to increased productivity.
