Five Ways that You Can Make the Most Out of Your Bedroom Workspace
Experts say that you should separate your work and sleep space, but for some thatās closer to a pipe dream than reality. Sometimes the only space people have for work is their bedroom. Please Note: This list may help some more than others.
1. Keep Things CleanĀ
This eliminates the stress of clutter and will also allow for much more efficient movement than a cluttered floor would. Because unless youāre training to be a ninja, being able to soundlessly leap over those dirty clothes piles will do nothing for you. Add shelves, get rid of those old markers that you havenāt used since the first grade, de-clutter and get organized, trust me when I say youāll thank yourself later.
2. Add Color with Structure
Color could be distracting but if itās added slowly and with structure, meaning in patterns or cohesiveness, then is could elevate your work space to a new level as well as make it your own. Good thing itās Spring, there are plenty of pastels and bright colors to choose from!Ā A little guide: Bright colors help get creative juices flowing (hello right brain) while cooler colors (blue and green) relax you.Ā
3. NO PHONES
Your phone, as important as it may be, could in fact ruin your productivity. This is nothing new, but eliminating that distraction could mean the difference between finishing your to do list and having to move tasks over to the next day. When youāre working, lock it up, put it away, do whatever you have to do to prevent yourself from looking at it.
4. Inspiration Comes with LifeĀ (Even if That Life is Fake AF)
Keeping plants on or by my desk has been one of the best things Iāve done for my creativity and my anxiety. Even if you arenāt a green thumb, fake plants can add the right amount of color and variety to your bedroom to make it feel more open, light, and alive. Currently I have an aloe vera plant and two cacti that live in my room and they add color texture, and shape that is otherwise missing from something like my bedroom.
5. Light and Sound Play a Huge Role in your Productivity and Sleep
Different lighting has different effects on the brain, especially if you sleep in complete darkness. During the day, make it clear to your brain that light = work and dark = sleep, this way you can stay alert at your desk and make the most out of both parts of your room. Sound is even less complicated than that. Studies have shown that music without lyrics, music of any genre, can be beneficial to productivity and learning, but people should steer clear of music with lyrics if theyāre trying to write or do math.
