Inspiring small apartments. 

I will sit on bed and try to imagine what those little details are trying to tell me. I will learn from all that history and get inspire for my next project. Wouldn’t you? 

If you've ever wanted to stop being distracted and increase your productivity, you can start today. My name is Rocio Fernandez and I design spaces and products depending on your personal lifestyle. In my experience design, form, colors and even smells can affect directly to your mood and your feelings. In this post, I want to show you how you can increase your productivity by only changing a couple things around your workspace.

I am pretty excited about this post because, It's pretty interesting how our brain work, you'll see :)

TIP 1My first tip is to reduce distraction by organizing your work area. Your brain is always looking for excuses to run away from problems, so make sure your brain can't find any excuse. Cutter and bad organization could be one BIG excuse.

My first tip is to reduce distraction by organizing your work area. Your brain is always looking for excuses to run away from problems, so make sure your brain can't find any excuse. Cutter and bad organization could be one BIG excuse.

Your brain is always looking for excuses to run away from problems, so make sure your brain can't find any excuse. Cutter and bad organization could be one BIG excuse. Clutter overwhelms your senses, making you feel stressed, and prejudice your ability to think creatively. But no everyone works equally. No everyone needs the same work organization, so discover which is you personal an better way to work. With this, I mean to organize your space depending on your personal way to work. So, if you only use paper one time a day, maybe you don't need it on the table. But, if you are using paper usually keep it close to you. This way you'll keep your workflow and momentum.

With this, I mean to organize your space depending on your personal way to work. If you are a Procrastinator and you want to know more about your perfect workspace, contact me anytime.

In general it's important to organize your space depending on what you need more often and finding a terrific organization that will keep your workflow and momentum. For example, Researchers have even found that certain people need a bit of a mess in their work to feel inspired. Find out how Steve Jobs use to work and compare him with Graham Hill. It's pretty interesting.

TIP 2

Manageable furniture and Confortable Chair.

One important recommendation is to use a good chair. You want to make sure that you are taking care of your back. Keep in mind this graphic; your screen should be parallel to your screen, and you should feel comfortable sitting for at list 2 hour. It is very important; the perfect chair will raise blood flow, pumping oxygen to the brain, and it's convenient for productivity. Visit my post about the Most comfortable chairs.

I also invite you to share with me with chair you are using.

TIP 3.

I am sure you already know that is better if you create small goals than one big one. You can have an Action and Idea Lists to Prioritize each Task and goals, but if you are okay working 100%  with computer some great plugins are Todoist, tonggl, or Wunderlist.  To be honest, I love technology but I need material, papers... If yours are like me, and you need to draw and explore your ideas, It's significantly helpful to have a whiteboard or a Chalkboard.

TIP 4.

Talking about paintings and organization, make sure you are not using the wrong color. Colors can be great tools in your efforts to manage your stress and feel better and more in control. Dr. Group studied how we responded to colors, and one of the best results for study and work areas is blue and green. Red or yellow can be very distracting. Perhaps for short-hours and particular jobs red, yellow, orange could be recommended.

But I still having a great tip for you, and this one I want you to so it today. This easy tip will make you feel better, and you can modify today.

TIP 5.

Smell is substantial and has shown to influence our brain linking our emotions and our personal learning process. It's for that reason we can go back on time once we smell something familiar to us.

Hawkins recommend only some particular kind of smells for boosting your productivity.  So, find a minute and get a good air freshener with one of this smells; Lemon, Lavender, Jasmine, Peppermint, etc.

It's all for today, if you have any questions or you have any particular chair, color or things that work for you, share it with us and help other.

Get your work done and follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, ...

Today my tips are very easy to follow, and It will boost your property price. This tip will increase the chances of selling your house while your buyer is inside trying to make the last decision. Studies have shown that your prospects make their decision depending on their first impression. That means your only have 15 seconds, up to 2 minutes to make them fall in love with your property. 

My name is Rocio Fernandez, I am an Interior Designer and marketing manager from Barcelona. I am making this video improve your space with some easy tips. The reason, I want to create this post is because I have four years experience renovating houses and designing commercial design, and in the end everything matters. When your prospects are looking for their future house, they are looking exactly for that: Future, dreams,..So the message, the smells, the light,...EVERY LITTLE thing is important. I want to make sure you don’t forget any of this important things. 

Tip 1: Smells.

Sometimes we forget how important are smells. 

But it’s very important!  Our olfactory receptors are related to  our limbic system. And That means that our smell are connected directly with our emotions. In experiments, subjects exposed to pleasant fragrances tend to give higher ‘attractiveness ratings’ to people in photographs.

I am going to give you an interesting example; In a Las Vegas casino, the amount of money gamble increase by over 45% when the site is odorise with a pleasant aroma! Is It not incredible?

Well, if you want to increase your chances of selling your house, this is one of my easiest tips: Add vanilla aroma. Smells are the last ingredient to make people feel at home. So, At least 15-20 min before your buyers get there, think about opening all the windows, cleaning the air and change their mood with a pleasurable smell.  

* If you have a bad smell use volcano rocks in your antique or humid  basements to absorb bad smells. 

*Add some fresh flower, it always makes a good impression. 

Tip 2:

Let the sunshine open your space and it will create a new fresh and welcome look if you take some time washing your windows (both sides). Reduce unnecessaries shadows. 

Tip 3:

One minute ago, I told you that your only have 15 seconds to make a good impression. Now imagine that someone shakes your hand, and it's sticky. Gross! Unfortunately sometimes, we forget about what is happening on our property. Sometimes our ring or knocker is very old and dirty. Your prospects are going to be outside, and they will knock the door, and your will show them around.  Think about changing the knocker for a new one or add a new shiny doorknob to your front door. They will start trusting you. 

Tip 4:

If your space does not have furniture anymore, you can get some floor plan ideas and show them, also explain your experience. No everyone can imagine how big is a couch and if they will have enough space. If you still have furniture, try to keep it simple, and only leave the most important. 

My last tip is to invest around $200 and take the time to paint or use wallpaper in some wall, to make your space even more interesting and well care.  Your prospects are going to visualize themselves living there, if your space look like new. 

If you have any question or new suggestions, share with us.

A surprising fact is how our space can affect our mood. Did your ever feel tired or irritated for no reason? It has nothing to be with you. Your space has a lot to do with it, and I want to help you today changing 4 things around you. It will be the first step to reduce that conflict between your brain and how it reads things around you.

My name is Rocio Fernandez and I study and design better place to life for people depending on your personal lifestyle. On this video, I have four important tips you need to know to reduce stress.  I highly recommend you to follow. 

It depends on each person and when it is that you feel that way. During the morning or night time? Which area? Feel free to ask me anytime, but I am going to give you some great tips. And again,  if you have questions please contact me anytime.

First try to figure out which colors are the best for you. Colors are important, I don't want to get in the psychology of this, but you can watch my video about colours.

Consider yellows, blues and greens for daily spaces, but learn how to use them. 

 Depending in which color you are using you can feel more happy, or even reduce appetite. It's pretty interesting!

My second tip is to stop using  flourscent light or screen before bed might hamper your ability to drift off to sleep. Night areas and relaxing areas should have a secondary light. All those light should be very light and with a calm color. Plus, one study found that couples who have a television in their room have sex half a the ones who do not have TV. 

My 3rd tip is to Check your curtains; it maybe are hung too low. Hang them from the ceiling, not from the top of your window frame. Your space will look bigger and taller spaces always increase the relieve and a happy psychological sensation

This way, your room will feel more like a loft,  will create a bigger sensation, and it won't block any smile-inducing natural light.

Another important tip is to have houseplants because plants can purify the air indoors, which can be five times more polluted that outdoor air, reports the EPA. Cleaner air reduces Head pain and claustrophobia feelings. Also, flowers bring color to your space and do not interrupt your interior color theme, because our eyes recognize plants as a living being and not as a decoration. 

Everyday is more difficult to find the time to clean. After working all day, it's practicly impossible to feel like cleaning, and now affortunally women have the opportunity to grow on her career, so noone stay at home and clean. My name is Rocio Fernandez, I study interior design architecture and marketing and one important subject on my design is how you interact on your space and how i can make your life easier. 

I also have some problems trying to find the time to clean up, so I want so share the most easy tips for making your house not only more easy to clean, also a house where you need to clean less.  The ideal  is to think about organization and cleaning while I design your space or on a renovation plan, that way I design each area thinking on your personal lifestyle. You can ask me more about it or contact me anytime, but I also want to give you some easy tips.  

1.Storage and make a plan depending on how you move around the house. 

Choose for close storage space, where the dirt can't go in. Boxes can be some times the right answer because nobody see what is inside and it do not need to be perfectly organize. 

Think about how to organize small things, and how you can save time. I am going to give you one of my personal tricks. I only have 4 different kinds of soocks only grey and black and two different sizes, large and shorts. I have a box for socks and inside that box I have four boxes. On each box I put one kind of my socks. I do no need to look for the pare. I save 10 min every time I do my laundry doing that, and on each thing around the house I have an personal way to organize that make me save time. And at the end everyday I have more time to do what I love to do. 

2.Colors and materials.

I will just tell you the most important things to consider with materials and colours. 

Dark colors on furniture usually show al the dust and white and broken white show all the stain. Is recomendable to use medium colours. 

Between matte or glossy, glossy reflect all the stain or even the finger prints, so matte is always the best option

3.Floor.

The reason why shiny materials and object are recongnized as pretty has an scintific reason, and the answerd is how our brain responds to our innate needs--in this case, the need for water, that make us to connect shiny object with the idea of valuable and elegant space.
