NATURE, LEARNING, BEN FOGLE AND THE APP.

29/9/2018

Autumn has come. There’s no point denying it. The mornings are pretty chilly and we tend to stay at home more. But today, I would truly like to encourage you to GO OUTSIDE (and take your learning with you …:)
A few days ago I wrapped myself up, packed all the necessities and made the place in the photo above my office for the day. Surprisingly, I managed to complete every task I had set up for the day, plus I felt so much at peace.
Changing our working or learning environment can bring a totally new dimension to it. Our productivity increases when our mind is ready to process new information. I believe that limiting  distractions can help us focus more and as a result remember things longer and better.
That is why I want you to try and give your learning routine a little twist once in a while.
  • Take a walk and listen to some audio-books. I am sure you have your own sources for that, but if you’re looking for some more here is a link to my audio-book library on Spotify.  
  • Sit down in the woods and create your vocabulary mind maps. You just need a notebook and a pen.
  • There aren’t many people in the woods so why don’t you use this opportunity to practice your speaking. Believe me, trees can be a very gracious audience.

The studies show that regular direct access to nature can:
increase self-esteem, improve concentration, learning, creativity, cognitive development, cooperation, flexibility and self-awareness.

Oh, boy! What a list! And I am sure it is not complete.
​And while we’re on the topic of nature, there are two more things I recommend you to check out.

​The first one is the Noisli app. 
The app claims to help you reduce stress and increase your productivity. Well, I am not sure if it does that, but it surely has a mix of different sounds which can help you to create a totally different learning/working environment.

​Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild
Season 7 is now available on Channel 5. And this is the second thing I truly recommend.


Ben travels around the world and meets people who have turned their backs on the rat race and set up home in some of the most remote and extraordinary parts of the world.
I am a huge fan of the series, not only because it is in English, but primarily because it is honest, moving and motivating. It emphasizes the connection with nature we all should have and makes you rethink your life and your daily choices.  ​
I’m signing off now. Hope you have a great autumn. ​
