The Distinctive Life

SPLURGE ON HEADPHONES

If you live in an urban area, city noises can often bleed into work phone and Zoom calls. Emergency services sirens, car alarms, honking horns, and construction noise are just some of the sounds that can derail even the most focused business calls. Plus, there are times where your standard headphones just aren’t cutting it when you are trying to listen to your colleagues. AirPods and other Bluetooth earbuds can be great for convenience and offer excellent audio quality. Over-the-ear headphones with an attached microphone can offer you significant advantages when giving presentations, as there is often less interference. Of course, if you are mainly trying to block out the sounds of summer around you, then adding high-quality noise-canceling headphones to your home office should be a priority.

INTRODUCE GREENERY

Greenery soothes and is known to improve the sometimes stale air quality of the most intense offices. Plants may even boost your productivity. From adding one relatively easy-to-care-for spider plant to installing a collection of ficus, snake plants, and dwarf bamboo, the experts at Better Homes & Gardens love the idea of “decorating your home office with houseplants for fresh texture and color.” And if you are worried that you might have a brown thumb, Martha Stewart Living is a fan of a thoroughly modern solution – subscription services that bring house plants to your door. Each plant is selected based on the amount of attention and care you want or can give. It’s the perfect answer for anyone who wants the benefits of a room filled with lush, air-purifying greenery without the stress involved in caring for a finicky plant. Now breathe deeply and let your creativity flow.
