Earlier, we mentioned that when living at home and playing with mobile phones in a normal way, you can achieve long-term positive psychological cues by placing furniture and setting up mobile phone software in a targeted manner, so that you can silently become better in these two environments.
For specific methods, you can refer to the "Recommended Articles" at the bottom to understand.
Today we're going to talk about the third scenario where people spend the most time, which is the desk and office area at work.
As at home, if we can make some arrangements for the office area in advance, combined with practices that have been proven effective in the field of psychology and health, it can also have a positive effect on our body and mind, thereby improving work efficiency and making us better in the workplace.
Some of the practices are as follows, hoping to be useful to you.
1, open office environment is not necessarily good. This office environment really gives people an innovative, dynamic atmosphere. But there are also its obvious drawbacks.
Psychologist Matthew Davis believes that in open-plan offices, people are stressed more than regular offices. Independent offices and tofu block desks can bring employees a certain amount of personal privacy, thus improving work efficiency.
Secondly, the open office area, the noise will be relatively large, there will be a lot of other people's movements, it is more difficult to concentrate.
Therefore, it is recommended that when you predict that there are no people, you can choose to go to the open area, and when there are relatively more people, it may be more efficient to return to your workstation.
2. About the color of the desk and the nearby walls.
Green can balance the overall energy of the human body and increase the person's sensitivity and compassion. It also has the effect of calming the gods, which can make everyone get along more harmoniously.
Red allows people to stay passionate and focused on the details.
Yellow can inject optimism and energy into the environment, which is conducive to keeping people optimistic and inspiring.
Blue can make the brain clear and prevent negative emotions from affecting the brain.
White has an enhancing effect, can awaken the human body's great creativity, and can stabilize the human energy system.
Black is a protective color that can calm sensitive people and restore balance to extreme people. However, too much use can cause some negative effects, and it is best to match other colors.
Silver: Can help discover and own imagination and develop innate perception.
Brown: Helps to improve people's ability to distinguish and improve basic knowledge.
3. About green plants.
The analysis of professional institutions found that the office with planted green plants can increase the happiness and pleasure of employees, and can improve work efficiency by as much as 15%.
The following are some of the more practical references, which can be both beautiful and purify the air.
Cloves, jasmine, milan, rose, etc. can play a bactericidal role.
Chrysanthemums can absorb hydrogen fluoride.
Hanging orchids and fig ornamental birch can absorb formaldehyde, decompose the benzene emitted by copiers and printers, and swallow nicotine.
Ear fern and iron tree can decompose 3 kinds of harmful substances, namely formaldehyde, xylene hidden in wallpaper and printing ink solvents, and toluene hidden in dyes and detergents.
Red cheek flowers: absorb xylene, toluene and ammonia.
Dragon's Blood Tree (Brazilian Iron), Daisies, Evergreen: Removal of Trichloroethylene.
4. About personal belongings.
Psychologist Craig Knight says employees who place at least one photo or a pot of plants at their workstations are 15 percent more productive than those who don't. Employees who can dress up their workspaces to their liking are 25 percent more efficient than those who work in more boring spaces.
The reason behind this is that doing so can give employees a sense of identity.
Three researchers wrote in the Journal of Environmental Psychology that personalizing the space can give employees more control and a sense of ownership of the surrounding environment, which is conducive to improving work efficiency.
"Creating your own space in the original public work environment can further strengthen the positive cognitive and emotional state of the individual and mobilize more mental resources to better cope with the degree of privacy and reduce potential interference." The researchers wrote in the report.
5. Multi-screen office.
If conditions permit, using dual monitors or large screens will make you significantly more productive, which who knows.
More and more work tasks require us to switch between multiple software at high frequencies, and dual monitors can easily achieve this.
6. Put goals and inspirational quotes in a conspicuous position.
You can display the annual or phased goals on the table, and at the same time paste some quotes and photos that encourage yourself, and when you are tired, you can get positive feedback and positive motivation from them in time, so as to enhance the enthusiasm for work and drive the improvement of work efficiency.
7. About sitting and standing office.
Standing up properly can help you be healthy and efficient.
Prolonged sedentary periods can cause physical stress, leading to chronic pain and discomfort, not only back pain, arthralgia, nerve damage, but also countless other minor ailments that lead to low work efficiency.
Standing for 10 minutes is enough to enhance concentration. Standing stimulates circulation, which sends more oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
The study found that 71 percent of employees who reduced their sitting time by one hour a day reported improved focus. When you're more focused, you'll be able to do more work more efficiently.
Most people spend at least 8 hours a day in an office location, and many people may spend more than 10 hours.
When you are busy at work, even if you know more truth before, you may leave it behind.
So why not consider spending some time at once, arranging some of the conditions listed above, and letting these silent "health guards" around you help you?
Hope the above is useful to you :)
