- Your home office may be optimized for focus but is taxing your nervous system, leading to fatigue.
- A 60-second scan reveals issues like facing away from the door, sealed blinds, and lack of ambient life, which keep your nervous system on high alert.
- Bruce Alexander's Rat Park experiment shows environment affects behavior; a better space can reduce dependency on screens.
- Four steps to improve your workspace: open the blinds, create a Digital Hearth with ambient life, unseal your ears by removing noise-cancelling headphones, and add a second chair to signal openness to connection.
- These changes can help your nervous system relax, improving focus and reducing background threat detection.
