6 Ways to Increase Your Productivity
Did you know that the environment you and your employees work out of largely impacts productivity? Here’s why:
1. Get some sun!
A study has shown that workers who experience natural daylight during work are likely to be healthier and retain and regulate their mood better. People who spend more time in natural lighting than in artificial lighting have increased productivity and alertness. Light directly influences the amount of melatonin a person produces, which indirectly affects alertness. Good thing Cocoon has ginormous windows giving you tons of natural light!
2. Choose your colors wisely!
There are numerous studies which explain in great detail the way colors and color patterns influence overall mood and productivity. Yellow has proven itself to be ideal for creative work, such as designing, developing, writing, etc. One of the more recent ones has linked colors with low wavelengths such as blues and greens to improved focus, efficiency and increase productivity, which is why Cocoon has made sure you’ll see lush green plants everywhere you look!
3. Design your office!
Another very important productivity factor is, of course, the design and layout of your office space. Making sure the frequently used items are within close reach makes a huge difference in terms of time management and efficiency. Having open space free from clutter helps moods remain high and keeps frustration at bay. The ergonomic furniture at Cocoon helps keep your alertness levels high and boosts your productivity.
4. Clean, clean, clean!
Cleanliness and organization is huge when it comes to productivity. Clutter creates mental distraction. Just by simply cleaning your desk or having your office professionally cleaned can make for a better work environment. It’s all about creating a space that you are happy to work in and at Cocoon we have made sure to hire the best of the best to take care of your space.
5. Keep it fresh!
Changing it up with various areas to work from like a kitchen, a lounge, a sitting area by a big bright window, a quiet nook, and of course your office, help to keep you feeling fresh and motivated. Having multiple places to post up helps avoid stagnation and encourages new ideas. It also allows you and your employees to take much needed breaks every once and a while!
6. Priotize your zone of genius!
Delegate all the things that detract from your area of genius or the exact work your employees were hired for. Attempting to save money by doing any of the things that are not specifically your area of expertise prevents you from making progress in the areas you excel in. Same goes for your employees. Narrowing down the areas of focus and delegating causes each person to be much more clear, efficient and prolific in their work.
