Today, I decided to break away from my usual routine and take my work outside. After navigating a few minor adjustments and settling in, I was amazed by the calming and creativity-boosting effects of being in nature. This experience was so inspiring that I wanted to share it with you! Scientific studies suggest that being outdoors helps reduce stress levels and promotes relaxation. Natural light and fresh air can improve concentration, increase your energy levels, and reduce fatigue. Spending time in nature can boost your mood and overall sense of well-being. This week, I invite you to find an opportunity to work outdoors. Let the fresh air, natural light, and change of scenery breathe new life into your tasks.

Instructions

  1. Choose your workspace. Find a comfortable outdoor spot that inspires productivity. This could be a park bench, a table at a local café, or even a quiet spot in your garden. It’s important to consider the time of day you work outside. In summer, mornings or evenings can be the best times to avoid the heat and enjoy a more pleasant environment.
  2. Prepare for success. Ensure you have everything you need to be productive. Pack necessary work materials, a fully charged laptop, headphones for calls, check the Internet availability, and perhaps an extension cord or portable battery. Don’t forget sunscreen, water or your favorite drink.
  3. Set specific goals. To make the most of working outside, set clear, achievable goals for your outdoor work session. Whether it’s clearing your inbox, brainstorming a new project, or completing specific tasks, keep your objectives focused.
  4. Schedule breaks. Incorporate short breaks to take walks, practice mindfulness, or simply enjoy your surroundings. These breaks can boost your creativity and productivity.
  5. Reflect on your experience. After your work think about these questions. Did the change of environment affect your productivity or creativity? How did working outside influence your mood and stress levels? What would you do differently to enhance your outdoor work experience in the future?
