Smell Your Way to Success! Be More Productive with This Scent
You know those rainy afternoons when you're just not feeling your work life?
Or those Monday mornings when you think you've got your shit together and then...
Staying productive and getting stuff done is literally so hard in this tumultuous world. People say exercise boosts productivity. Or you need this certain kind of planner. Or take this important vitamin that is the answer to all your problems.
If you're like me and tried everything to make yourself more productive, but are still failing and flailing about, I have an idea...
CHANGE THE ODOR AROUND YOU.
Now I've probably got you going...
Here's the skinny! In an interview with MyDomaine, Scent founder Kirsty Dare and French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian spilled the tea on how certain scents can actually boost your productivity!
Here's what Dare has to say:
"Rosemary, cypress, sage, and cinnamon are all fantastic scents when you’re looking to improve your focus and give your productivity a boost. These scents help improve cognitive functions, such as strengthening your working memory and improving overall attention span."
Do you want improved cognitive functions? Do you want to strengthen your working memory? Do you want to improve overall attention span? These scents are freakin' triple threats! Check out this rosemary incense, this sage candle, or this cinnamon roll cookie recipe (your whole house will smell delicious AND productive).
Kurkdjian adds,
"For a coffee lover, the smell of coffee can be the answer."
Our brains associate the smell of coffee with energy and work. So even if you're not going to be drinking it that day, boil a pot so you can have that smell of fresh coffee to kick your brain into high gear. OR, just head to a local coffeeshop or Starbucks.
I would like to know if the smell of Pumpkin Spice Latte is included in that productive coffee smell...
Happy productive smelling and working y'all!
