Powerful Tools to Use at Home for a Productive Work Day Mood
We hear this all the time in reviews. “I love working from home… but I struggle to switch on.”

Tap a mood. The routine below changes to match.
Why scent works so fast
Smell is instant. It changes the “feel” of a room in minutes.
Customers often tell us that a “work scent” helps them switch into work mode. It becomes a signal. Like making a coffee. Or opening your laptop.
The best workday scents are clean and steady. Not overpowering. Not distracting.
Your workday scent routine (easy)
This is the flow customers use most. You can copy it exactly.
Morning: “Start work” signal
Use a fresh or uplifting scent for 30–60 minutes. Then pause it. This helps your brain start.
Midday: keep focus steady
Keep it light. If you’re using a warmer, move it slightly further away. If you’re using reeds, reduce them.
Afternoon: beat the slump
Do a short “fresh reset” for 15–25 minutes. Then stop again. This is where it helps most.
End of day: switch off
Swap to calmer scents. Your brain learns: work is done now. It helps you switch off properly.
Using one strong scent all day. You stop noticing it. Then you add more. Then it becomes too much.

FAQ
How do we stop a scent feeling too strong?
Use less, not more. Short bursts work better than all day. If you’re using a warmer, place it further away. If you’re using reeds, reduce the number.
What’s the easiest routine to start with?
Morning: a fresh, uplifting scent for 30–60 minutes. Afternoon: a short “reset” burst. End of day: something softer so you can switch off.
Is the Subscription Box good for workday routines?
Yes. It’s a favourite for customers who like variety and want easy rotation. Rotation helps because you don’t get used to one scent too quickly.
