TJ Walker explains how high ceilings and outdoor time boost creative thinking. Watching nature videos doesn't work—you need actual exposure. Office design matters too: multiple windows and natural light from different angles help creativity and focus.
Where are you most creative? Well, there's a lot of new research out now that says that if you have high ceilings, you'll actually open your brain up to higher thoughts. That means the most creative place outdoors. I urge you, try to spend some time every single day outdoors. Now, just looking at outdoors on video apparently doesn't do the trick, but this is why so many people get into turf wars in their office about the quiet order office. Having two windows letting in light, letting invisibility to the outside from two different angles is better for your brain. It's better for your creative. So try to block out at least sometime each day where you can be outside.
