Working from home is a vibe—
• flex time
• your couch as HQ
• PJs ‘til noon
…but it’s also a minefield of barking dogs, snack runs, and “why-is-my-brain-mush” moments.
Need a simple switch to flip focus and spark creativity?
Try scent.
Why your nose matters
Smell → limbic system → mood, memory, motivation.
Cue the right aroma and your brain slides into “get-stuff-done” mode.
