One of the most overlooked factors in productivity is lighting.
Many studies demonstrate that natural lighting is best whenever

a profound effect on your mood and can even influence your
hormones.
If placing your home office in an area with windows is not

put away at day’s end by simply closing the closet door.
If you have even less space to work with, try a wall-mounted
