The Impact of Environment on Productivity

The relationship between one's environment and productivity is profound. Research indicates that our actions are influenced significantly by both internal drives and external stimuli. For instance, being in high-ceilinged spaces enhances creative thinking, while low-ceiling environments encourage focus on mundane tasks.
