Time spent outdoors = healthier children. "Time spent in natural outdoor spaces has positive impacts on many areas involved in the development of speech, language and communication skills. Attention and listening, play, lexical diversity and even the parent child interaction itself are reported to be enhanced in outdoor contexts, all of which contribute significantly to children’s communicative capabilities. It appears that the immersive environment offered by natural outdoor spaces invites the exploration, creativity and physical challenge that supports the development of these fundamentally important aspects of children’s health." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…

Your home environment should assist every single goal you want to accomplish instead of sabotaging it. -Gym / some equipment to workout -Big library -No toxic kitchen items -Clean water -No soy LEDs -Lots of natural light -Ready to go healthy meals -Grounding mats -Plants -Ethernet cables -Place to decompress and relax by either praying ot partaking in one of your hobbies *All these are obviously the perfect scenario and impractical or even seemingly neurotic at first. The overall point is that you can't work on something for 8 hours a day, get home and then ruin it because you didn't pay attention to its structure.
