Design an office space that caters to your goals and subdues distractions that can hinder efficiency. These include elements like sound, temperature, and airflow. ## Acoustic element When sound is irritating, it incites pressure on cognition. Install sound barriers, cushions, or curtains to silence irritating sounds in the office. ## Temperature heats up Thermal discomfort is one of the leading causes of concentration loss. Industrial ventilators, air cleaners, and humidifiers can control the unwanted heat, light, and moisture in the air inside the workspace. ## Airflow Airflow is a tip regarding the air quality in the workspace: the ventilation and temperature of the area are other elements that need addressing for a productive environment. ## Example Rachel, a designer, removed items that distracted her and adjusted the lights in the area so that her work desk looked more professional. She mentioned, "It is cool to get back in, and the space itself helps me with the required mood shift." Secondly, provide your team with learning opportunities to help them manage their own distractions. Have the knowledge shared across the organization on topics like psychology, focus, or distraction. This will teach your team how to train their consciousness in order to block distractions. For example, Google publishes books and newsletters on efficiency and distraction; share these links with your team.
