Case Study: Lena's Home Office Transformation

​

Client: "Can you give me an example of how this actually works in practice?"

Dr. Morris: "Absolutely. Let me tell you about Lena. She's a mom and a graphic designer who works from a home office. She came to me because she needed a space that would keep her focused on her business."

​

The Challenge

Client: "What was going wrong for her?"

Dr. Morris: "Lena's archetypal test showed that she was extremely creative but also very distractible. Her artsy office was fun at first glance - lots of pictures and playful trinkets - but those were actually little mental triggers that kept pulling her attention away from her work.

       She was having trouble finishing jobs on time, and the stress of that was putting a real damper on her creativity. She was even starting to doubt her skills."

​

The Solution

Client: "How did you approach that?"

Dr. Morris: "I knew she needed an office with what I call 'clear vistas' - places where she could look and not be visually stimulated. We reduced all that mental noise by keeping only the essentials."

​

Client: "What did that look like specifically?"

Dr. Morris: "We limited the artwork, kept just a select number of pens and pencils where she could see them, plus her datebook, a notebook to sketch out ideas, a clock to keep her focused on time, and we tucked her filing system away in the closet."

​

The Results

Client: "Did it actually make a difference?"

Dr. Morris: "The transformation was remarkable. The new visually quiet office restored her creativity, and she started getting her jobs completed on schedule.

          As a bonus, she wasn't nearly as tired at the end of the day because her brain wasn't constantly processing all that visual stimulation."
