Tip 1. Apply layers of lighting. The right lighting is crucial in a home workspace. Lighting affects your mood, your productivity and how you look during meetings. Don’t settle for a single overhead light. You need an array of lighting for specific purposes. Get an adjustable desk lamp for task lighting, so you can point a beam of light exactly where you need it. Add ambient light with a desktop or floor lamp that diffuses light through a shade or bounces it off a wall or ceiling. The goal: To bathe the entire space in soft light. To help you look better on conference calls, consider investing in a ring light. This isn’t just vanity; it’s a matter of professionalism. When so much of our communication happens on a video conference instead of across a conference table, the people we are talking to need to see our faces clearly on screen. If you’re lucky enough to have natural light in your home workspace, great! Not only does natural light help your lighting (just be sure to sit facing a window), but it also can improve your mood and work accuracy and reduces drowsiness, headaches and eyestrain. Tip 2. Declutter your desk. This seems obvious, but let’s be honest: When was the last time you cleaned your desk? Yeah, that’s what we thought. Well, now’s the time. Toss anything that needs to be thrown out, put those stray pens in one decorative container and file the piles of paper. Make sure you have all your workday essentials close at hand, and move all non-essentials elsewhere. Clutter can be a distraction, and dirty coffee cups and piles of dog-eared folders won’t look good on either. Cleaning up your workspace is not just about appearances, though. Research has shown that cluttered spaces can negatively affect our stress levels and hinder our ability to focus. Tip 3. Get serious about your office furniture. Go for ergonomic office furniture. It used to be that an office manager worried about ergonomics, the science of fitting the equipment to the worker. Now that’s your job. Make sure you have what you need to stay healthy and comfortable while working. Instead of slouching on the sofa hunched over your laptop, choose an office chair that supports your back and a desk that’s the right height for your frame. Try a standing desk, so you’re not sitting all day, and consider getting a monitor stand to elevate your screen for the most comfortable viewing. If you’re looking for a DIY solution, create your own monitor stand by using a few large hardcover books to raise your monitor. Investing in ergonomic furniture can keep you healthy by preventing carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains and lower back injury. Tip 4. Divide a room for privacy. If you don’t have a separate room to dedicate to a home office, a room divider is an easy way to carve out a bit of privacy for your workspace in a larger room. Use a folding-style divider that you can pack up and stash at the end of the workday or curtains to create privacy. For a more permanent divider, use large, freestanding bookshelves to divide a room while giving you storage for your supplies. Dividers will screen out distractions, block some background noise and even provide a backdrop forcalls. Consider adding a white noise machine or using noise canceling headphones to help block out even more background distractions. Tip 5. Personalize your home office space. The best thing about working from home? This is your space. You don’t need to get approval from your boss or facilities to make the place you work reflect your personality. Hang art on the wall that matters to you. Surround yourself with tropical plants. Put your dog’s bed near your desk, so your best friend can snooze at your feet while you work. Set up an aromatherapy diffuser, and paint the walls your favorite color. Create an inspiration board and fill it with things that make you happy, like images of your family, friends and pets or pictures of your dream vacation spot. This is your space. If an object makes you happy, calm and productive, put it in your line of sight.

Some foods that we eat every day may contain a lot of unknown and dangerous for our body. The most consumed foods and the danger that they hide are presented to your attention. Egg white. Many people eat omelet for breakfast. After reading this material, you will most likely lose this desire. Why? The main rule to remember is that the omelet must be very well done. The fact is that egg whites contain a trypsin inhibitor, which negatively affects the body's ability to absorb protein. The consequences can be fatal. Such a terrible substance is also found in lima beans. By consuming lima beans and a poorly fried egg whites omelet every day, you will have the opportunity to test first-hand which will kill faster: trypsin or apathy. Bones of cherries, apricots, apples and almonds. These products in themselves are not harmful to our body. However, the danger is still lurking. The seeds of these fruits, if crushed, are a reliable source of hydrogen cyanide. Previously, spies who were captured in enemy territory swallowed tablets made from crushed almonds. Hydrogen cyanide is also called hydrocyanic acid. History also recalls this acid. Castor oil plant. Perhaps the title doesn't tell you anything. But castor oil is extracted from this plant. Castor oil is also one of the components of caramel and chocolate. And what's so terrible about that? The seeds of this plant contain ricin. There is so much poison in this substance that it was even given to the most dangerous killers during the Cold War. 0.2 ml approx. such a poison will kill a person in just a few days. When consumed wisely, ricin dissolves in the body without leaving any traces behind. Whole Wheat Bread. Rye and whole grain wheat contain phytic acid, which is also called the “antinutrient”. This substance has a bad effect on the absorption of substances such as zinc, potassium, magnesium and iron. This acid is also able to form insoluble compounds with these nutrients, which our body is simply not able to absorb. Potato. Perhaps you didn’t even know that the favorite product of many is capable of poisoning us. The leaves, eyes of potatoes and tubers contain a small amount of corned beef. Corned beef is a natural antifungal agent, as well as a pesticide. With their help, the plant protects itself well. After some time, corned beef accumulates in the tubers, and they turn green. One potato contains approximately 8 -13 mg of solanine. In order to poison, a person just needs to use 200 mg of solanine. If you use a large amount of old potatoes, hallucinations can occur, cause neurological problems, as well as nausea. Mushrooms: Naturally, inedible mushrooms cause death. But now it’s not about that. Champignons and shiitake, if not pre-cooked, contain a huge amount of carcinogens. The experiments were carried out on mice. Experiments very often observed tumors when they were fed raw mushrooms. Cashew. These nuts contain a substance such as urushiol. Not only can it be found in cashews, but also in poison ivy. Everyone knows what the consequences of contact with this plant can be. What can then happen if you eat it? A small amount of cashews is good for you, but if you overdo it, you may not like the reaction. A reaction to urushiol is often seen in people who work in a cashew nut factory. Red bean. A substance that can make the membranes of our cells too permeable, and so much so that any harmful substance can penetrate the cell, is called phytohemaglutinin. This can lead to the fact that a person can lose control not only over his own body, but also over its functions. The first signs of poisoning are diarrhea and vomiting. This toxic substance is still able to initiate cell mitosis. If you cook beans at a temperature of 100 or more degrees, then phytohemagglutinitis is destroyed. It is recommended to pre-soak red beans in water for about 5 hours.

1. Scheffler - ideal for smokers' houses, this plant remarkably neutralizes nicotine and tar in the air, as well as a sheffler very beautiful and not whimsical, does not require special care. 2. Scindapsus golden purifies the air from benzene. Very resistant and hardy plant, does not require a lot of light. 3. Dracaena neutralizes formaldehyde, which evaporates varnish, chipboard furniture and wallpaper glue. It has an exotic look, a fairly photophilous plant. 4. Chlorophytum ideally neutralizes exhaust gases that come out of the street through windows anyway. This plant is not the most whimsical of the room living creatures. This plant can live up to 10 years. 5. Hamedorea graceful perfectly moisturizes the air and removes substances that are secreted by plastic, a shade-tolerant plant that requires frequent watering. 6. Ivy ideally cleans the air of air fungi, it was also used long ago as an astringent, emetic, laxative. Ivy is not picky about soil; at high temperatures it requires regular spraying. 7. Ficus Benjamin purifies the air, reduces toxic substances such as folmaldehyde, benzene and ammonia, as well as this plant simply attracts dust. Since ficus is a tropical plant, it requires some care.

Reception is an important and troublesome event that needs to be carefully thought out and well prepared. An important role in the mood for the whole evening is played directly by the meeting and further behavior. - The more guests you want to invite, the earlier you should inform people who arrived in 10 days or a week. In any case, name the exact time. The reason is not called if guests are invited on the occasion of their birthday - it is assumed that the guests will guess.

1-2 hours - water, tea, coffee, cocoa, broth, milk, soft-boiled eggs, rice, boiled river fish. 2-3 hours - hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled sea fish, boiled potatoes, bread. 3 -4 hours - chicken and beef (boiled), rye bread, apples, carrots, radishes, spinach, cucumbers, fried potatoes, ham. 4-5 hours - beans (beans, peas), game, herring, fried meat. 5- 6 hours - mushrooms, bacon. Try not to eat 3-4 hours before bedtime. If you adhere to the principle and do not eat while there is food in the stomach, you can not only lose weight (based on non-eating), but also maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Gradually, the stomach will decrease in size, and the habit of not overeating will remain with you. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE FOOD IN THE STOMACH IS DIGESTED BY USING THE ACID OF THE GASTRIC JUICE, THEREFORE DRINKING ALKALINE WATER NEEDS AFTER 3 - 4 HOURS AFTER RECEIVING THE FOOD! AND BEFORE THE BATTERY IS BREATHING - THAN 500 BREAKFAST. TO HELP EDUCATE THE GASTRIC JUICE IN THE NECESSARY QUANTITY!
