Have you ever wondered if the space you\u2019re working in is helping or hindering your creativity? Is clutter getting in your way to thinking more clearly? Are you constantly being interrupted by people knocking on your door when you\u2019re trying to work? Or maybe you\u2019re even unaware of that humming air conditioner in the background is affecting your productivity. Recently I tuned into one of my favourite podcasts, (<a href=\"https:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/optimizing-workspace-for-productivity-focus-and-creativity\/\">The Huberman Lab<\/a>), that addressed all of those issues and offered up science-based solutions to optimize your workspace for productivity, creativity and focus and I thought it would be fun to visualize a few key takeaways. (As a side, if you get a chance, I highly recommend you tune in to the podcast or any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/\">Huberman Lab<\/a>\u2019s podcasts actually, where the Stanford University tenured professor of neurobiology and opthamology, <a href=\"https:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/\">Dr. Andrew Huberman<\/a> discusses science and science-based tools for everyday life).

According to studies mentioned on the podcast, this part of a work day is a great time for detailed analytical work. To create a space that will help you focus, Huberman advises our cognition follows our visual environment and working in a lower ceiling space with bright overhead lights and in addition, a blue light or a ring light in front of you is optimal for this period. Making special note that restricting one\u2019s visual window (blocking your view right and left) and placing what you\u2019re trying to focus on at nose level or above also helps. A special note to avoid reclining and try standing at least 50% of the time. The above two photos from design studio, <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.georgeandwilly.com\/\">George and Will<\/a>y demonstrate this well by creating enclosed workspaces that allow for privacy as well as offering overhead lighting. \u00a0Fun fact: George and Willy offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.georgeandwilly.com\/pages\/spaces-ebook\">free e-book<\/a> on how to make these <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.georgeandwilly.com\/blogs\/blog\/minimalistic-design-studio\">adorable workspace huts<\/a> on their website if you\u2019re interested. Click <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.georgeandwilly.com\/pages\/spaces-ebook\">here<\/a> for the link.<\/p><p>Budget tip: Huberman also suggests if budget is an issue, you might be able to create this effect just as well by simply wearing a hoodie. A great tip especially if you\u2019re working or studying in an open environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

(8 to 16 hours after waking), is apparently a good time for these types of activities. Huberman mentions that working in an environment with cathedral-style or high ceilings has been proven to be most effective to get the creative juices flowing. Bringing the light levels down to eye level, dimming the overhead lighting, and turning off the ring light (if you use one) a little later in the day, will help also with adjusting your circadian clock for your upcoming night\u2019s sleep.<\/p><p>(Above) The workspace at Boston\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utiledesign.com\/work\/autodesk-boston-workspace-expansion\/\">Autodesk<\/a> designed by Utile organizes work space around a signature \u201cGlowing Box\u201d wrapped in a 34-color gradient that houses meeting and conference spaces.

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you happen to work during Phase III (evening hours), according to Dr. Huberman, lighting is the most important element. He suggests lighting should be dim (including your screens) and limited though, as one could basically deplete their melatonin levels and shift their circadian clock at that time of day. In other words, if you are burning the midnight oil and do stay up between the hours of 6am to 2am (or later) and are getting bright light into your eyes in the third phase, you are effectively flying to a different time zone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2895665 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2895665\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce84a4e\" data-id=\"ce84a4e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bd3e1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5bd3e1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.architonic.com\/en\/product\/bover-skybell-plus-a-01\/20193230?epik=dj0yJnU9Ny1FZlZXZzVuZFpadjRyMVpGc3lkQ1llRm9fbjFKMGQmcD0wJm49Z1dRWmRRamp2aGxxZWtmMGIxaENLZyZ0PUFBQUFBR0lXdXBB\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-676x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19333 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-676x1024.jpeg 676w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-198x300.jpeg 198w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-768x1163.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-1015x1536.jpeg 1015w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5.jpeg 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-676x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19333 lazyload\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-676x1024.jpeg 676w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-198x300.jpeg 198w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-768x1163.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5-1015x1536.jpeg 1015w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A9CAD35-3A7E-45A6-85D3-F9F6BC936DD5.jpeg 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">A low-lit bedroom scene from Architonic<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d48531f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d48531f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a06868\" data-id=\"3a06868\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fd5e1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fd5e1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Huberman does state however if you do want to stay alert, then you\u2019ll want to turn on all the lights and keep them really bright.
