I'm Rearranging

Earlier this week I made the spontaneous decision to rearrange my entire living room. Through the course of my life as a student (elementary, middle, high school, and college), I have learned that in order to keep myself motivated to do my school work, my surroundings need to change every so often. Sometimes I'll study in my room at my desk or move to our dining room table. These past few weeks I have been using the desk in our living room and have been doing my homework there.

Then last week after feeling in a bit of a slump, I decided one afternoon to rearrange my living room and study area. I put away things that were left sitting out for several days, got rid of the accumulated junk on my desk, and switched out the layout of my study area. It took a good 2 hours to finish the job but nonetheless it was accomplished.

Here are two pictures of my study area:

I arranged the area to mimic an office. Because my home has a very open floor plan, finding a dedicated study area other than my room can be difficult. I wanted this space, although small, to be a productive area and I think that I accomplished this goal because it has been working out for me these several days.

A change of scenery is good. Whenever I feel that I am not working productively to the best of my abilities, I like to change up my surroundings. It can be as small as rearranging the items on your desk or flipping the layout of a room. Regardless, I hope you can find a change to help make your life more productive! Have a great weekend!
