Back to School Florida Style: Top Three Places for Homework Focus
From pool parties to backyard barbecues, summer here in Central Florida is guaranteed to be a fun time for everyone. As these lazy days under the pergola come to a close, how do we ensure that school-aged kids are ready for back to school and homework time while still enjoying the great weather Central Florida has to provide.
Make is simple:
Whether you have a desk in a home office that is a dedicated space for homework and other administrative tasks or you use your kitchen table, make sure the space for work is clear and simple. The debris free and clutter free area will ensure that additional opportunities for distraction are minimized. Pro-tip make sure there is enough natural sunlight available in order to maximize the benefits of the natural sunlight and these summer months.
Indoor-outdoor:
Think about it, you’re indoors for 80-90% of your day at school, why would you want to come home and immediately open a book inside yet another building. This is why spaces like a sunroom or a lanai can make for great home office and home spaces. A sunroom allows for an outdoor feel right inside the comfort of your air conditioned home–the best of both worlds. A lanai also brings this concept in the palm of our hand, bringing both an indoor and outdoor living space combo. Grab a desk or table, some fresh lemonade and get that homework done.
Outdoor Kitchen:
Why in the world would an outdoor kitchen be a great place for homework? Glad you asked. First and foremost, with outdoor kitchens there are usually outdoor tables and seating areas available and sometimes underutilized. Secondly, during certain hours of the day there might be a lot of hustle and bustle throughout the house. From phone calls to in and outs and deliveries, the opportunity for distraction inside of the house might increase depending on the hour of the day. Sitting down outside, maybe even bringing your favorite furry friend to sit next to you, and working in the outdoor kitchen might be the best kept secret for people looking for uninterrupted time. Bonus: if your outdoor kitchen has a fridge you might have VIP access to your favorite cold drinks.
