Ever feel like you’re just not getting much done today? It might not be laziness – but rather the conditions you’re working in.

Did you know that room temperature can affect your concentration by up to 20%?
Research shows that the ideal working temperature is between 21–25°C.

Why it matters:

• Too hot = Your body overheats → fatigue, sluggishness, slower reactions.

• Too cold = Muscle tension → stress, higher energy consumption, harder to type and move around.

Practical steps:

1. Get a thermometer for your office or home workspace.

2. Track at what temperature you work best (e.g., 22°C with a light sweater).

3. In summer, use a fan or air conditioning – but keep it at a sensible setting.

4. In winter, avoid overheating the room – layer your clothing instead.

   
   

Bonus tip: In your time-tracking app (e.g., primaTime), add daily notes about the temperature. After a week, you’ll clearly see what works best for you.
