178 | Patrick Lalonde | How Cleansing Your Environment Can Help You FOCUS on What Truly Matters

In today’s show, Chris interviews Patrick Lalonde, VP, Student Works. 

Chris and Patrick discuss how a conducive environment can boost our mental health and overall productivity. Listeners will learn how cleansing one’s environment can help you retain FOCUS and inspire one to achieve bigger and better things.

Have you noticed how our surroundings have a symbiotic relationship with our mental state? If your environment is dirty and cluttered, you will feel disoriented and dysfunctional. Vice versa, if you are working from a clean, well-lit place, you will be inspired to put your best effort forward.

This is particularly important in light of the current situation as world-over, all of us struggling to adjust to the “work-from-home” model.  

So, what are some practical tips and good habits for creating a clean and inspiring work environment?

Patrick shares how strictly allotting a specific function to different areas of your house can particularly help you out. 

Additionally, we discuss how technology is a double-edged sword. While embracing a virtual work-model has become essential right now, technology can also distract you away from your CORE and critical tasks. 

If you feel that you need to cut back on unnecessary screen-time, this segment of the show will interest you greatly. Patrick shares how conducting a technology audit can help you shed such bad habits.

This show is full of tips and tricks guaranteed to help you out. Enjoy!
