Whether you are a homemaker or a working professional; a busy father or a mother-cum-entrepreneur, lethargy often brings procrastination. It is ok to take a break from work.

Adds Convenience: A home is a place where we seek comfort and convenience. However, after living in the same room for a long time, it may become monotonous. Even if the current arrangement does not support your present lifestyle, you do not get up and move the belongings as per your present needs.
Once you complete the rearrangement of the furniture the way they can serve you better, you will feel satisfied. Living in that room will be more convenient for you. Also, you do not feel bored.
Helps to Adapt the Change: Seasons come and go. The environment at home changes. And people often feel stressed out or helpless whenever any change comes in front of them. Rearranging the furniture, according to the change in the surrounding, helps to cope up with it.
For example, when spring is about to enter your room, shift your bed near the window. The warmth of the morning sun will delight you after long winter days. Or, when you got a permanent work-from-home job, after working at the office for years, place your desk slightly away from your bed. Try it. You will feel less lethargic, be more productive, and can embrace the new change in life easily.
