This helpful bit should be of use to college students, busy executives, and anyone else who is dependent on high levels of concentration and brain power.

It turns out there is a growing body of research that shows, amazingly:

• Exposure to green outdoor settings (parks, trees, grassy backyards, etc…) can significantly improve concentration and productivity.

If you follow the link above, you’ll be taken to a nice website that lists over a dozen research studies showing the benefits.

Nancy Wells, a professor at Cornell University, has conducted several studies in this area. She also notes that green spaces can lead to "profound differences in attention capacities".

Do you study (or work) boxed up in a classroom, library, or office with no windows or natural light?
