Tidy house, tidy mind, sound familiar? Well, it’s now a scientific fact, but how does your environment really impact your productivity?

Granted, there are a number of things people can do in order to increase their own productivity. Getting a decent night’s sleep, eating what your mum would call ‘brain food’ and manage your time effectively to reduce those daily stresses are just a few of the classics, but what you didn’t realise is your productivity can sometimes be hindered by something that’s out of your control… your environment.

Quality of light

The quality of light within your environment is just the first of many factors that can influence your productivity. Studies have shown that people who are exposed to a high level of natural daylight are more likely to be in better health and are more likely to be better at retaining and regulating their mood. At Campbell Property we understand the importance of natural light, with large and bright windows being a feature present across all of our accommodation (don’t worry we’ve got blackout blinds too!).

Layout and design           

Full blown Feng Shui may be taking it one step too far, but clutter in your external space will clutter your internal mind. Within the home, there should be spaces for work and spaces for relaxation. Although the call of working from the sofa is often too tempting to ignore, it is critical that you separate the lounge environment from the work environment.  Across our properties, we feature dining areas and spaces equipped with large tables – plenty big enough to support the mound of library books you’ll be bringing back after that final term deadline comes straight out of nowhere!

Noise pollution  

If you’re having trouble keeping focused or find yourself getting easily distracted, it could be a result of surrounding noise pollution – we’re not making this up! It’s a likely occurrence when living in a city. Even the quietest of sounds is often enough to pull your head out of that book and distract you from your workload.

At Campbell Property all of our homes are located in highly desirable, yet quiet locations so you can be sure you won’t be bombarded by outside noise when you live with us.

Productivity is the key to success and we’re here to help put your mind at ease. One step ahead of the game, thinking about you every step of the way, Campbell property is your new home away from home, so if you’re looking for a place to build memories while fostering success, choose Campbell Property and book your viewing today!
