'It’s pretty clear that being outside just makes anyone feel better. Breathing in fresh air, hearing the birds chirping, seeing greenery is invigorating and offers some extra headspace when you are working,' says Kathy Taslitz.
'I find a change of scenery is helpful for getting focused, coming up with new ideas, and shaking off the 'office' feel from sitting behind a desk,' adds Jordan Clough. 'There's a lot of science and research happening around how seeing or being in nature is really good for your mental health, and it doesn't take a phd to feel the difference a break from the inside desk makes.'
'The positive effects of fresh air and sunshine really can't be overstated. Being able to set up a workstation in your outdoor space has so many benefits because it helps you change your perspective a bit, to draw inspiration from the beauty of the outdoors, and shake that feeling of being 'stuck' inside that sometimes creeps up during spring and summer.' says Kathy Kuo.
