<p>All around us, there are gadgets and gurus telling us how to grow, maintain a healthy diet, or a balanced life. HIIT exercises, the 5:2 diet, Marie Kondo&hellip; In the world of overwhelming information, sometimes you just need a simple device to help you keep track of your goals.</p>
<p>And that&rsquo;s where &lambda; Ring comes in.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/p/ring">&lambda; Ring</a> is designed to let you know when you hit those targets - whether it&rsquo;s steps, sleep, or keep an eye on your calorie intake - glowing whenever you succeed.

<p>The pressures of today's fast-paced environment can make even the most dedicated workers exhausted and unmotivated. It's crucial to take breaks frequently despite the hectic atmosphere.</p>
<p>As a result, we have discussed the drawbacks of a sedentary lifestyle and the benefits of taking a break at work in achieving and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1h8vlf8sj3kn">Consequences of Sedentary Lifestyle at Work</h2>
<h3>Circulatory System Problems</h3>
<p>Your heart, like any other muscle in your body, benefits from regular exercise. When you need to move quickly, your heart may be unable to keep up with sudden movement. As a result, taking even a short flight of stairs when the lift is broken can leave you gasping for air due to your lungs' decreased capacity to absorb oxygen. At last, your blood pressure increases, leading to vasoconstriction, which can increase the risk of future strokes and other complications.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Recharge-and-Revitalize-Practices-for-Taking-Work-Breaks2.webp" alt="Circulatory System Problems - Taking a break at work" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Legs and Gluteals</h3>
<p>The huge leg and gluteal muscles might shrink and weaken from prolonged sitting. These big muscles help you walk and keep you steady. You can increase the risk of falling and straining your muscles during exercise if you don't take a stretch break at work. The <a href="http://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/9-true-health-benefits-of-a-standing-desk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">benefits of standing desks</a> can help you move your muscles throughout the day and keep them healthy.</p>
<h3>Weight Gain</h3>
<p>Muscle movement aids in the breakdown of dietary carbohydrates and fats. Long periods of sitting reduce digestion efficiency, leading to the storage of extra fat and sugar.</p>
<p>Health issues, such as metabolic syndrome, might arise if you spend most of your time sedentary. New studies show that you must take a break at work for 60&ndash;75 minutes daily to counteract the negative effects of sitting for long periods.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Recharge-and-Revitalize-Practices-for-Taking-Work-Breaks6.webp" alt="Weight Gain" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Spinal issues</h3>
<p>It's common sense that holding the same position for hours might cause back pain.</p>
<p>The hips and back (spinal health) can take a serious hit from too much sitting. Your flexor muscles may shorten, and your posture may suffer; altering your posture in this way can have a negative effect on your spinal health.</p>
<h3>Anxiety and Depression</h3>
<p>The mental repercussions of sitting are often taken less seriously than the physical ones. People who sit for long periods are more likely to develop depression and anxiety. The possible explanation is that the mental health advantages of fitness are diminished when one spends most of their waking hours sedentary. Therefore, regular mental health breaks at work are necessary to help reduce this danger.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1h8vlf8sj3ko">How to Take a Break at Work</h2>
<h3>Rest Breaks</h3>
<p>Throughout a typical workday, employees are entitled to periodic periods of rest; food and personal leisure might count as rest breaks.</p>
<p>Taking a break at work benefits employees to rejuvenate themselves from the mental and physical labor they've been putting in.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Recharge-and-Revitalize-Practices-for-Taking-Work-Breaks5.webp" alt="Rest Breaks" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Active Breaks</h3>
<p>Taking a break at work benefits muscle tone, posture, focus, tension, and self-esteem. This is why it's crucial to take several stretch breaks at work. A break doesn't have to be a full-on workout; even using light <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/best-desk-exercise-equipment-and-machines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">desk exercise equipment</a> can get your blood pumping.</p>
<h3>Micro-Breaks</h3>
<p>Breaks of any length can be beneficial. An extremely productive break is a micro-break lasting for less than 10 minutes. Just stepping away from your work and doing <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/10-exercises-for-you-to-do-at-your-standing-desk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">desk exercises</a> greatly benefits your body.</p>
<p>One study found that office workers taking a break at work for even 5 to 10 minutes performed better than those who took longer breaks once every three hours.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Recharge-and-Revitalize-Practices-for-Taking-Work-Breaks4.webp" alt="Micro-Breaks - Taking a break at work" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Exercise Break</h3>
<p>A meta-analysis found that persons who sit for lengthy periods have the same risk as smokers, highlighting the need for regular activity breaks. Stretching and <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/15-standing-exercises-to-workout-anytime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">standing exercises</a> are simple activities that'll help you stay physical throughout the day. Many of these may be done without leaving your desk, while others are better suited to a group setting.</p>
<h3>Eye Breaks</h3>
<p>Remove your eyes from the screen after every 40-45 minutes, using a computer for extended amounts of time might cause fatigue. Breaking up your time in front of the screen is recommended to reduce eye strain and neck and head pain. The 20-20 guideline recommends getting up and looking at least 20 feet away from the screen every 20 minutes.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Recharge-and-Revitalize-Practices-for-Taking-Work-Breaks3.webp" alt="Eye Breaks - Taking a break at work" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Ergonomic Break Software</h3>
<p>Ergonomic break programs are designed to alert users when it is time to take a break at work. The software serves as a reminder to take a break and might range from a basic timer that sounds at regular intervals to an intricate algorithm that adjusts the pauses as needed.</p>
<h3>Mental Health Breaks</h3>
<p>It's difficult to stay on track when other chores keep popping up and threatening your progress toward deadlines. That's why taking a mental health break at work is critical by pressing the RESET button. Depending on your level of frustration, your mental break can be brief and relaxing or lengthy and taxing.</p>
<p>Short mental breaks can be anything from doodling for five minutes at your desk to playing a few hands of Candy Crush or Solitaire.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1h8vlf8sj3kp">The Advantages of Ergonomics</h2>
<p>Ergonomic furniture is useful because it can lessen the number of accidents that employees sustain while at work. Workplace ailments like back discomfort, and strained necks can be reduced with the help of ergonomic furniture by providing support and promoting healthy posture. The <a href="https://www.osha.gov/ergonomics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)</a> states that ergonomics interventions, such as desk exercise equipment, can help reduce the number and severity of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by reducing muscle fatigue and increasing productivity.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/p/ring" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230927/habit-ring-autonomous-1920x540.jpg" alt="Autonomous Ring - Habit promise for a better you" width="1920" height="540" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h2>What to Consider While Shopping For Ergonomic Office Furniture</h2>
<p><b>Think about adaptability</b>: Find furniture that can be rearranged to accommodate a variety of workers and their needs. <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Standing desks</a> that can be raised or lowered are one solution to the problem of workers with different heights.</p>
<p><b>Look for back support:</b> Find an ergonomic chair with armrests and proper posture, like with a workstation and proper lumbar support.</p>
<p><b>Test it:</b> It's a good idea to get your staff to try out a few different kinds of ergonomic furniture before you make any big purchases. This will make it easier for them to choose furniture that works for them in terms of comfort and support.</p>
<p>Make sure to look for accessories such as a <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/15-best-balance-boards-for-standing-desks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">balance board for a standing desk</a> and a neck pillow for enhanced comfort.</p>

Recharge and Revitalize: Practices for Taking Work Breaks

<li><a href="#mcetoc_1h8vlb5ch3fq">Break Strategy That Any Office Can Incorporate</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Empowering your employees with office breaks allows you to not only increase productivity but also let your employees have a positive attitude toward you. However, breaks should be strategized in such a way that they make your employees re-energize instead of getting too lazy.</p>
<p>Before we jump on to the best strategy to implement breaks, let's discuss some of the benefits of taking a break at work.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1h8vlb5ch3fp">Importance of Taking a Break at Work</h2>
<p>Sitting at a desk all the time makes the person lazy and exhausted, affecting both the productivity and the physical health of the employees. Allowing your employees to have breaks during work hours makes them active and healthy. The physical movement of the body keeps them fresh throughout the day.</p>
<p><a href="https://newsroom.aflac.com/2022-11-16-Employee-burnout-is-on-par-with-levels-at-the-height-of-the-COVID-19-pandemic-job-performance-impacted" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">A recent survey from AFLAC</a> shows that 59 percent of people feel burned out only after working for half a day. That is mainly because their manager thinks that working more would be the most productive. However, studies from various pieces of research show that a mix of breaks and work is the best way to get the best performance out of your employees.</p>
<p>It is also proved by the research that the more time you spend on your chair without changing position, the more dangerous it is for your physical and mental health. People with physical work are reporting less discomfort and exhaustion than the ones with sitting jobs. For that reason, it is important for managers and CEOs to change their behavior towards office breaks and start incorporating some of the strategies mentioned below to maximize the potential of their employees while keeping them satisfied with their workload.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Empowering-Office-with-Break-Strategy-for-Productivity-Well-Being3.webp" alt="Importance of Taking a Break at Work" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1h8vlb5ch3fq">Break Strategy That Any Office Can Incorporate</h2>
<p>Now, let's start to learn how to take breaks at work!</p>
<h3>Use Sitting and Standing Desks in Your Office Space</h3>
<p>For that reason, many furniture companies have introduced standing desks. These desks allow your employees to work while standing and also set a timer whenever they want to change their positions. In this way, they will be able to work for longer hours as the frequent movements will keep the blood flowing well throughout the body.</p>
<p>Some of the best <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">standing desks</a> you can use for this purpose is the SmartDesk series from Autonomous. The desk comes with all the smart features, such as adjustable height and one-touch controls. Moreover, the desk can also lift up to 265 lbs. of weight, making it super durable for heavy equipment.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Empowering-Office-with-Break-Strategy-for-Productivity-Well-Being5.webp" alt="Use Sitting and Standing Desks in Your Office Space" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Break Activities</h3>
<p>Many organizations allow their employees to do some activities during office break time. Engaging in any physical activity during your free time would activate your mental and physical muscles for producing high-quality work again. Research shows that 97 percent of people spend their break time scrolling on their phones, which makes them mentally exhausted. For that reason, we would recommend you prepare an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/10-office-break-room-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">office break room</a> where your employees can find indoor games such as table tennis and fitness corners for exercising.</p>
<h3>Set a Routine</h3>
<p>Once you have got a <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks/smartdesk-2-business" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smart desk</a> in your office, the next step is to set a routine for sitting and standing for your employees. The golden rule for the employees sitting standing ratio is 3:1. Every hour, they should stand for at least 15 minutes. Another smart way to set a routine is to set an office break reminder that can help you move from your sitting to standing or vice versa. The routine would be a bit difficult to follow at first, but once the habit has been formed, the practice will do wonders in terms of overall productivity.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/p/ring" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230927/habit-ring-autonomous-1920x540.jpg" alt="Autonomous Ring - Habit promise for a better you" width="1920" height="540" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3>Implement Short and Frequent Breaks</h3>
<p>Only sitting and standing while working won't fix the problem, as breaks should be completely separate from work. Providing long office breaks can be a bit difficult during high workloads, so it is better to provide your employees with short, frequent breaks to prepare them for the next task. This kind of break strategy can be incorporated by allowing your workers to take a break for 5 minutes every hour.</p>
<p>Another strategy is to allot them a time for which they can be completely free of work. For example, allowing your employees to take an hour-long office break throughout the day would leave them with a choice to take a break whenever they want. Every employee has different working stamina, so taking a break when the saturation point is near would be the best way to incorporate the break strategy.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Empowering-Office-with-Break-Strategy-for-Productivity-Well-Being2.webp" alt="Implement Short and Frequent Breaks" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Location for Breaks</h3>
<p>The location for office breaks should not be the desks and <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/30-office-cubicle-decor-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">office cubicles</a>. Sitting in the same place without working won't do any good to the employees. Moreover, it would take the benefits of breaks out of the equation. So, it is better to move and leave the desk to feel re-energized to continue the work again. As an employee, one can move outside for a short walk or move from one place to another to refresh himself.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230905/Empowering-Office-with-Break-Strategy-for-Productivity-Well-Being4.webp" alt="Location for Breaks - Office break" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h3>Take a Break Yourself</h3>
<p>Waking up at 4 am and working consistently without breaks might sound like an ideal routine to get successful in life, but it would make you tired sooner than expected. You can only make others work when you are mentally and physically active, so make sure you take frequent breaks to let your mind relax before planning for the next big project.</p>
<p>Moreover, your employees are looking to you for motivation and inspiration, so show them how you manage your work and office breaks and make them work as if your clones are working as your team.</p>

High-speed internet, video conferencing capabilities, and collaboration tools enable teams to connect and collaborate seamlessly, regardless of location. Technology integration also streamlines administrative tasks and automates processes, reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency. By prioritizing technology integration, companies demonstrate their commitment to staying ahead in the digital landscape and providing employees with the tools necessary to excel in their work.</p>

This amenity helps alleviate working parents' stress and logistical challenges, allowing them to maintain a healthy work-life balance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Companies demonstrate a commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive workplace by offering on-site daycare. It shows an understanding of the needs of working parents and can be a significant factor in attracting and retaining talented employees who value family-friendly benefits.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">10. Flexible Workspaces</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Flexible workspaces are becoming increasingly popular among luxury office amenities, catering to employees' diverse work styles and preferences. These versatile areas accommodate tasks such as individual work, team collaboration, or client meetings. Employees can choose an environment that best suits their needs by offering a range of flexible workspaces, including open-plan areas, private offices, and comfortable nooks. Flexible workspaces promote adaptability, creativity, and collaboration, fostering a dynamic, agile work culture.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Let's face it, with workplaces more complicated than ever before, the need to organize and clean up our work lives is getting ever more important. But it seems that no matter how many times we seem to try doing that, we always get back to where we started. So, what can we do?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Well, the worldwide celebrity, Marie Kondo, might have the answer. While her KonMari approach to cleanliness is without a doubt effective at home, it might be just as useful in your work life, and in this article, we will tell you exactly how you can apply the KonMari method to your workplace starting today.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So let’s read on and find out more!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What Is the KonMari Method?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Before we can go towards implementing it, we must first understand what the KonMari method is. Basically, the KonMari method is the mental and technical approach to cleanliness and organization outlined by Marie Kondo, a world-famous Japanese organizing consultant, in her bestselling book, "<a href="https://shop.konmari.com/products/the-life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</a>."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Basically, the method emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, as well as the role that organization and cleanliness play in the way we interact with the spaces around us.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="What Is the KonMari Method?" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method7-8f59f699-63bc-497e-8df4-df395902937f.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Use the KonMari Method of Decluttering?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The thing that makes the KonMari method of decluttering different from other philosophies is that instead of simply guiding you on how to clean once in a while, Marie Kondo teaches you how to think and approach tidiness and organization in a way that makes your living and working spaces more efficient in the long run.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">KonMari Method Steps</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While the actual philosophy of Marie Kondo is extensive and detailed, for the purposes of this article, the following steps are what should be kept in mind:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Be Mindful and Have Gratitude</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The central philosophy of the KonMari method is that cleaning up shouldn't be taken as a difficult thing that you have to do but as something that your workspace and the people you share the workspace with deserve. It means being clean every day instead of just once every few months, and it means being mindful about every choice you make about your workspace. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bringing that kind of mindset to organization and cleaning will help you whether we are talking about a cubicle's <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks" target="_blank">office desk</a> or whether you want to implement your ideal <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/12-covetously-cool-and-essential-types-of-home-office-setup" target="_blank">home office setup ideas</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Be Mindful and Have Gratitude" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method2-ca4a29c4-fb67-4615-b73c-31f1d975cd49.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Discard First</h3>
<p dir="ltr">One of the things Marie Kondo emphasizes the most is that you discard waste items first and organize them later to make sure that they are not stored again, and at a workplace where random items accumulate even faster than at home, doing that is extremely important.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> What this accomplishes is that instead of stuffing all your drawers and cabinets with an ever-increasing list of items that you have to reorganize every time you sit down to tidy up, you will actually have to do less work every time since you would have been progressively removing all the clutter with each clean-up, eventually making tidying a much less daunting task than it is for most people.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Discard First - konmari method" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method3-5803263f-81c0-4b18-bace-3b70b061f5ce.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Tidying by Category</h3>
<p dir="ltr">One of the most important innovations made by the KonMari method is that instead of tidying based on space, you will tidy up based on category. This means that instead of, say, you clean your desk, then your file closet, and then your drawers, you will start by cleaning your tools first, then your documentation, and finally all your miscellaneous gadgets and wires.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This approach can be made even more efficient if you have a setup that already divides stuff based on category, like having your setup on a <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/25-small-desks-with-drawers" target="_blank">small desk with drawers</a> or maybe a separate <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/the-17-best-small-corner-desks" target="_blank">small corner desk with drawers</a>, both of which improve efficiency on a daily basis while cutting down the time it takes to clean everything when applying the KonMari method.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Tidying by Category - konmari method" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method4-7a72a697-28e3-49ec-9673-22f3da478f0a.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Go Beyond the Physical World</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This is not referring to some secret technique that allows you to astral project, but the fact that the techniques we've mentioned can actually be applied to the digital workspace as well. Things like the storage on your computer, your cloud data, and, most importantly, things like your email and Slack inbox can be hugely disorganized.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And with more and more of our work dependent on the digital world, you should put the same time and effort into caretaking for your digital spaces as you do for your physical ones.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Go Beyond the Physical World - konmari method" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method5-26e2a15b-070d-49fe-ba31-7931ab02e029.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Know Your Power Spots</h3>
<p dir="ltr">To understand this method, you must first know what a power spot is. Basically, the exact spot in a larger place of productivity, be it a drawer on a desk, a particular shelf in a closet, or in our case, the desk space on a workstation that a person interacts with the most often, is called a power spot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And knowing your power spots and building your setup around them can be a huge benefit to your overall setup. In fact, most proper <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/9-perfect-office-desk-setup-tips" target="_blank">desk setups</a> are built around their power spots to improve productivity.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Know Your Power Spots - konmari method" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Declutter-Your-Work-Life-with-the-Marie-Kondo-Method6-87185ae9-f77a-4581-9bb7-a350c79124a7.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;"/></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Spark Joy</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Probably the most famous of Marie Kondo's mantras, sparking joy is more than just a flashy catchphrase. According to Kondo, the purpose of asking if something sparks joy is to ask yourself if the thing contributes to you feeling more positive and if it contributes to your efficiency.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And applying that logic to the workspace can also yield incredible results. It will not only allow you to remove the things that make your workplace cluttered and disorganized if you remove the things that don't contribute to your efficiency, but you will also actually improve your work ethic and your mood on a day-to-day basis.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This can even be applied to the kind of setup you are looking for since instead of choosing a fancy, minimal setup that might sound flashy but will eventually be uncomfortable for you if you are following the KonMari method, you will go for something much more productive like perhaps an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/set-up-ergonomic-home-office-complete-guide" target="_blank">ergonomic office setup</a>.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Bottom Line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The list of benefits and potential applications can go on and on, but as long as you follow these simple suggestions that we mentioned earlier, you will be able to improve your workplace tenfold and manage to keep it that way for as long as you don't give up on the philosophy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And that covers our guide on applying Marie Kondo's KonMari philosophy to the workspace. We hope you found the guide helpful, and if you did, remember to share this with your friends. With that, stay curious, guys, and thanks for reading.</p>

Are you tired of having a cluttered work life and space? Here is how to apply Marie Kondo's world-famous KonMari method to improve your workplace.

Declutter Your Work Life with the Marie Kondo Method

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">We all have had a moment where a cluttered desk, a gathering of people, or some other random thing that shouldn&#39;t disturb us manages to make our concentration and productivity weak. If you&#39;ve suffered from any of these things, you are a victim of visual noise, affecting more than just your concentration when a task is going on.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">It&#39;s a phenomenon as common as all other kinds of noise, and managing it can boost your efficiency and make your work experience much less daunting and painful to your senses. So let&rsquo;s read on to find out more on it.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Is Visual Noise?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">In general, the visual noise definition refers to unwanted and disruptive things that might distract or otherwise disturb you by being in your field of vision. This can be purely a visual phenomena like excessive lighting, complicated interior design, or even bright paint. But it also includes things like big crowds and a TV showing something important.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">Basically, anything that, when in your vision, whether direct or in the periphery, will cause you to focus on it unnecessarily can be called visual noise, and it is a bigger issue than you think.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="What Is Visual Noise?" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Taming-Visual-Noise-at-Work-Strategies-for-a-Focused-Environment6-048ccc03-e9a3-4237-a132-898290ffccdd.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Does Visual Distraction Do?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">As you can imagine, the biggest problem caused by visual noise and other visual distractions is the loss of concentration and productivity resulting from it. But it can also cause things like overstimulation, mental fatigue, and even unnecessary stress and anxiety, especially if it involves coworkers or employers.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">Therefore, sitting in a clean, empty room can be physically relaxing to people even though they haven&#39;t actually gotten any physical treatment.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="What Does Visual Distraction Do?" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Taming-Visual-Noise-at-Work-Strategies-for-a-Focused-Environment5-5b6bc696-2789-426f-af3c-9802a84ddc1e.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Can We Do About It?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">As you can imagine, there are tons of potential strategies for managing visual noise. Some companies like AT&amp;T have tried installing things like dedicated, single-person workstations at their San Ramon, Calif., offices to reduce visual distraction. But for most workspaces and for most people, the main tips you have to keep in mind would be the following.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">1. Keep it Basic</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">While this rule might sound obvious, all it takes is a look around an average office to see just how much unnecessary stuff is lying around. Using things like organizers and simpler furniture like dedicated </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks" target="_blank">office desks</a> will make a world of difference in making your workspace the most effective and least visually noisy it can be. The mantra of &quot;less is more&quot; will be your best friend, so go for <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/13-effective-office-design-ideas-for-small-business" target="_blank">small office designs</a> instead of the usual giant, overcomplicated messes that pass for workstations these days.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/free-office-design-service?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=campaign&amp;utm_campaign=growth&amp;utm_content=free_design&amp;utm_term=" target="_blank"><img alt="free office design service" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230223/office-design-layout-service-2023-min3a2890f9b7.png" style="width: 3840px; height: 1080px;" /></a></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">2. Separate and Categorize</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">One of the things that plague most office workspaces is just how scattered everything is. The coffee machines may be in the same area as the file organizers, the printer next to the bathroom, and all other similar nonsense. And simply making sure that everything goes with what it is closest to can make a huge difference.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">This goes further from simple closet or furniture organization too, making sure that only the workers that have to interact sit together, and using things like a </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/12-office-desk-dividers-for-privacy" target="_blank">desk privacy screen</a> to separate different areas of the office into separate sections can make the space feel a lot less cluttered while cutting down on a lot of visual noise.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Separate and Categorize" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Taming-Visual-Noise-at-Work-Strategies-for-a-Focused-Environment2-8bfaaf4d-ecc9-4c6d-b18d-36607a024e19.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">3. Use and Manage Colors</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">Now, while we mentioned colors as an example of visual distraction earlier, with the right application, they can actually be your friend. In fact, colors are often used by interior designers to affect the occupant&#39;s moods, so having color-based organization and uniformity in your </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/17-office-cubicle-decor-ideas" target="_blank">office cubicle</a> instead of the regular sharp, disjointed colors might be the thing that softens your eyes against visual noise. At the same time, using too many colors does the opposite, so be deliberate with your use of colors.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Use and Manage Colors" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Taming-Visual-Noise-at-Work-Strategies-for-a-Focused-Environment3-75eef7f6-d4b2-44bc-b9b2-0e55b73c75dd.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">4. Light is Your Friend</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">Lighting that is too dim, too bright, too contrasted, or even too cool or warm can be a huge source of visual noise in a workspace and is a big facilitator in causing visual noise syndrome. So, it is important to choose the right kind of light for your workspace. This would mean soft, slightly warm, uniform lights that are placed in spots that don&#39;t cause much glare. Another way of implementing good lighting is with the use of daylight, which can introduce the benefits of things like </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/5-backyard-office-ideas-for-outdoor-workspace" target="_blank">outdoor office space</a>, all of which will make your work experience much healthier in terms of visual noise.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Light is Your Friend" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/230717/Taming-Visual-Noise-at-Work-Strategies-for-a-Focused-Environment4-4762111a-d9e1-485e-ba52-fc2c042a530f.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">5. Identify the Noise</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">This is by far the most obvious tip but is also just as difficult to handle because the source of the noise might not be an over cluttered desk as it is in most cases, but something like a water cooler that attracts too many visitors or maybe a badly placed window. The best way to manage this would be by consulting a proper </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/small-office-layout-ideas-of-a-workspace" target="_blank">office space layout</a> and slowly implementing the rules presented in these layouts in your own workspace.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Bottom Line</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">All in all, visual noise and related afflictions like the visual noise syndrome are not things to be taken lightly, and luckily for us, by following the few simple tips we&#39;ve mentioned here, you should be able to make your work environment feel a lot less cluttered to your own benefit and of those who work with you.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-365d3849-7fff-51c6-7b49-785bc4e55c00">And that covers our guide on managing visual noise at work. We hope you found the guide helpful, and if you did, remember to share this with your friends. With that, stay curious, guys, and thanks for reading.</span></p>

Taming Visual Noise at Work: Strategies for a Focused Environment

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Employees who are anxious and mentally unwell cannot increase an office&#39;s productivity. Most firms undertake annual biometric exams to create a physical baseline for employees to understand their results and track their development over time.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">It is now necessary to include&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/assessment-and-selection/other-assessment-methods/cognitive-ability-tests/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cognitive testing</a> in the mix. When cognitive screening results are available, there is a chance to inform staff about their general health and assist them in improving their cognitive well-being.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Is Cognitive Well-Being?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Cognitive well-being definition refers to the ability to think effectively, learn from your environment and remember things.

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Numerous stressors have been demonstrated to have a detrimental effect on cognitive well-being. Unfortunately, recent events have made some drawbacks worse, hurting people&#39;s capacity for wise judgment and productive labor. Individual and group performance, risk assessment and management, workplace absenteeism, and general human resource management can all be impacted by cognitive impairments.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Essential Cognitive Wellness Skills for the Workplace</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Five categories are frequently used to classify cognitive abilities. These illustrations of cognitive well-being show several strategies your brain employs to process and apply data efficiently.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">1. Attention</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Sustained, selective, and split attention all fall under this category. You can concentrate on a single task for a long time with the aid of sustained attention. Selective attention enables you to concentrate on a single task despite external distractions and eliminates the risk of&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/mental-blocks-in-workplace-causes-cure-and-prevention" target="_blank">mental block</a>.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Additionally, paying attention to two or more things at once while keeping track of one helps you remember knowledge.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">2. Memory</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f627e6fd-7fff-1f68-3133-9d5b3e88fbe4">Short-term memory helps you remember recent information, whereas long-term memory enables you to recollect information from the past. Both long-term and short-term memory can be useful for daily work, such as recalling the major ideas from a recent meeting and previous project instructions.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">If it&#39;s a space for them, then it needs to be something that they love. Teenagers are picky about what they like, and a slight inconvenience can throw them off. These crucial years are also essential in building the child-parent bond hence a&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/building-with-a-diy-house-kit" target="_blank">DIY house kit</a> works great for a teenage retreat. You and your teen can work on building the right space for them while spending some quality time together. Hearing their ideas and watching you work on them will make them feel valued and heard, and soon they will begin to appreciate this relationship even more.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Involve Your Teens - family retreat" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230704/Design-Tips-for-Creating-a-Backyard-Family-Retreat-for-Teens30858b0b125.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">Plan Enough Space</span></h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">You cannot expect someone to relax in a cramped space. Since a backyard retreat gives your teenager time and space to relax, it is important to consider making it as spacious and comfortable as possible. Think about practical ways in which a teenager works. Teens want a desk for schoolwork and extracurricular activities, a place to sleep, lots of storage, a wall for pictures and shelves, or their favorite posters. Also, think about suitable internet connectivity for social media. Create distinct nooks in your teen retreat if you have more than one kid. They are now free to act whatever they like without interfering with one another&#39;s personal space.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Plan the Layout</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">Along with enough space planning, it is important to visualize and plan the layout of the entire space. Planning the retreat&#39;s layout carefully will help you save a tonne of time and money. Measuring accurately is important, as is considering the sizes of the furnishings you will move from their room or buy later. Your child&#39;s lifestyle should also have an impact on the design. For instance, if they frequently have guests over, you might leave a large open area alongside their bed to serve as a sleeping place.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="Plan the Layout" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230704/Design-Tips-for-Creating-a-Backyard-Family-Retreat-for-Teens5d07bb9775f.webp" /></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Storage Solution</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">It&#39;s time to teach your teenager independence but also some important skills. Try to incorporate things that bring out their organizational side&mdash;storage options such as cabinets and shelves where they are required to keep their items. A well-designed wardrobe for kids to keep their clothes and other essentials is also important. Teach them the value of keeping it neat. And these storage options also come in handy if, in the future, you are&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/build-dreamy-guest-house-plans" target="_blank">building a guest house</a> by transforming your teenage backyard retreat.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Keep It Open and Private</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">You don&#39;t want your teenager to enjoy complete privacy, nor do you want to keep them under a hawk&#39;s eye all the time. Hence a right inclusion of privacy and openness is what we are aiming for as a family</span> retreat for teens. The answer lies in a thoughtful design that enables smooth traffic flow and seclusion when necessary. Give both areas equal weight, and be willing to let your adolescents use the bigger area when they have guests around. Give them a little privacy for tasks like studying or talking to pals so they feel trusted.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Keep It Open and Private" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230704/Design-Tips-for-Creating-a-Backyard-Family-Retreat-for-Teens40c5289560c.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Ergonomic Furniture</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">Teens are growing into adults and tend not to pay attention to habits that can damage them in the long term. Hence, ergonomic furniture is a must-have for their gaming and chilling hours to prevent physical and postural damage to their bodies. Key furnishings that will serve them well throughout their adolescent years are ergonomic seats and chairs, durable bedside tables, and upholstered headboards that suit their tastes.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">A sofa cum bed is an excellent alternative because of its adaptability when space is at a premium in a teen getaway. It&#39;s ideal for resting at night and hosting visitors throughout the day.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/adus/autonomous-work-pod?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=growth&utm_content=adu&utm_term=" target="_blank"><img alt="workpod for gamer" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230303/1920x540_gaming70d5143df8.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 540px;" /></a></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Homely Theme</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">As you want the backyard house to give a family retreat, keeping up with the homely theme is important. Add amenities like a tiny kitchen, a working washroom, and facilities like cooling/heating. Windows and doors to provide ventilation and give a feeling of a proper living space should also be considered. Work on decorating the space with personalized items to give a home vibe. If you want a setup with built facilities, an&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/prefab-adu-2-types-and-3-myths" target="_blank">ADU Kit</a> by autonomous or a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/pod-adus" target="_blank">prefab ADU</a> is the right place to start. These structures have built-in doors and windows and electric and ventilation facilities.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Homely Theme - family retreat" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230704/Design-Tips-for-Creating-a-Backyard-Family-Retreat-for-Teens213d9e951e2.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Establish Some Rules</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">As family retreats with teens, you want to make sure they are supervised so they don&rsquo;t cross all the boundaries. Raising teens is a huge responsibility, and while you have done great parenting by providing them with a private relaxing zone, it is still important to keep them under control. It&#39;s crucial to spell out what your kid can and cannot do with whatever new privilege you provide them. This also includes rules regarding having friends over despite having their own space.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">Consider creating guidelines for consuming food and beverages, keeping the area clean, and adhering to time constraints. Reiterate that you have made this area for them and that they must take care of it. Also, for their friends coming over, teach them to be in charge of cleanup and upkeep of the place. Don&#39;t let them pile up chores for you at the end of the day.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e540e8b6-7fff-9a88-4849-1c0741d68405">Enjoy your time with these family retreats, and have a great time!</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">More and more people are ditching conventional vacations in favor of the mobile lifestyle epitomized by the van. Van travel allows you to see the world at your own pace, stopping anywhere you like to take in the sights.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">These 8 van life tricks for enhancing your motorhome can help you have a more relaxing and invigorating time on the road. So let&#39;s find out!</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Does Van Life Means?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Van life is an alternative lifestyle in which one&#39;s primary dwelling is a van or other vehicle converted into a tiny house on wheels. Minimalism, simplicity, exploration, and a reevaluation of life&#39;s priorities are hallmarks of the van lifestyle.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">8 Clever Van Life Hacks to Make The Most Out of Your Minimal Living</h2>

<h3 dir="ltr">1. A Place for Your Fresh Food</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Transporting perishable items like fresh produce can be challenging. You can use drawers and cabinets, but they won&#39;t prevent your fruit and vegetables from rolling around in the car if you&#39;re traveling on gravel roads.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Using a hanging fruit and vegetable hammock is a terrific van life storage hack. Space-saving, aesthetically pleasing, and, most importantly, protecting your food from bumps and bruises, these hanging devices serve several uses.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">This van life hack will prevent your vegetables from rolling around in the cupboard as the hammock gently rocks back and forth when your van encounters bumps in the road.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">2. Foam Protectors</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">It&#39;s essential to plan ahead and take safety measures when camping out. During transport, breakage or damage to glasses, cups, and plates is a regular complaint, and investing in a foam protector can help prevent this.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Buying a foam protector is a cheap van life safety tip to improve your travel experience, and it serves as a handy storage solution and safeguards for your belongings. This simple but ingenious fix should be in every motorhome and other types of&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/20-companies-make-tiny-house-kits" target="_blank">small house kits</a>.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr">3. Folding Bed</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Van lifers should think about installing a fold-down bed in their camper vans. This space-saving and ergonomic van life hack lets you get some shut-eye without sacrificing comfort. It&#39;s perfect for everybody, but it&#39;s especially helpful for taller people who frequently complain of back problems on standard cross-beds.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">However, the pull-out bed can accommodate guests of varying heights. It&#39;s wonderful for turning that bedroom into a playroom for the kids and a </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/30-fun-backyard-ideas-for-family-gathering" target="_blank">fun backyard idea</a> for adults. If you value ease and comfort during sleep, this is the best van life beginner tip to follow.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">The pull-out bed can be mounted quickly and easily on the van&#39;s manufacturing structure, reducing bulk and labor costs. It might take some work, but it&#39;s well worth it in the end.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="Folding Bed - van life hacks" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230626/8-Hacks-for-The-Most-Comfortable-and-Carefree-Van-Life00003659c3180b7.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">4. Extra Security Features for Rvs</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Taking your family on the road in a motorhome is a great way to bond while experiencing new locations and activities. However, vans are unsafe, and motorists should always put safety first. For this reason, we advise that you take a few precautions before setting off on your trip.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Adding extra locks to your camper doors is one of the best van life safety tips. The factory locks on vehicles are only sometimes reliable; therefore, adding additional locks to the van&#39;s metal structure is a good idea. You can feel more secure when traveling if these locks are installed on every door.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">5. GPS Locator</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">This is one of the most essential van life beginner tips to help you throughout your van life. Fit your van with a GPS tracker that communicates with a smartphone app. If your vehicle is ever stolen, you will always know where to look for it. But it&#39;s also helpful if you let your loved ones in on the tracker so they can always see your location in case of an emergency.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">You can get alerts when your van leaves a predetermined area, when it moves when it transfers locations, and so on, depending on the type of program you use.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="GPS Locator - van life hacks" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230626/8-Hacks-for-The-Most-Comfortable-and-Carefree-Van-Life00004ffd2c54767.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">6. Shades and Drapes for The Windows</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Curtains or other window coverings serve at least three purposes.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">First, let&#39;s talk about the weather. They will help maintain a more constant temperature inside your van due to their insulating properties. Therefore, it&rsquo;s a must-follow van life winter tip.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Secondly, they will make you feel more secure. You can disguise your appearance from the outside, and it&#39;s awkward when passers-by peer inside your van like you&#39;re a specimen in a display case.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">Finally, we have illumination control. It&#39;s very spectacular to open your eyes to a gorgeous sunrise. We understand, however, that there are instances when you would rather sleep in than be roused by the sun. You can keep your vehicle somewhat dark using curtains or window covers.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img alt="Shades and Drapes for The Windows - van life hacks" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20230626/8-Hacks-for-The-Most-Comfortable-and-Carefree-Van-Life000051cda0abd8d.webp" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">7. Safety Cabinet Locks</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">A motorhome should have magnetic safety locks installed as a minimum. They eliminate the danger of drawers and cabinets opening while driving and can be installed without any modifications to the vehicle. The self-adhesive tape makes both the application and removal processes quick and simple. These types of van life tips and tricks help you to make your everyday life easier.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">The magnetic key that opens these locks can be easily affixed to a piece of furniture and kept close at hand. To secure drawers for transport, just set the lock in place; to unlock, use the magnetic key. Also, the lock can be easily turned off so the drawers can be opened without a key when the vehicle stops.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">8. A Combined Carbon Monoxide And Gas Detector</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">When you live or travel in a van, you do so in a confined space. As a result, understanding when ventilation is required is crucial. A </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/features/timechangecodetectors/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CO detector</a> mounted inside the van is one of the most important van life safety tips to follow.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">If you utilize gas inside your vehicle, keeping a gas detector close by is a good idea so you may be alerted quickly in case of a leak.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What Do You Need to Know Before Living in a Van?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-15596aec-7fff-8967-7284-952ed09eaf65">1. Pick a van that fits your purpose.</span></p>
