Lemon oil is perhaps one of the most popular scents in most cleaning products today.  It has a very crisp, clean aroma which many people enjoy having around.  Citrus scents in general are wonderfully bright, clean smells.  But did you know that using essential lemon oil will help increase your concentration and improve your productivity?  Japanese studies have shown that diffusing lemon oil into the work environment cuts down on typographical errors by over 54%.  Imagine how much time you would save every day by having to make less than half the number of corrections you currently make!  Often we don't pay enough attention to how much the smells and aromas around us actually effect our every day lives, but they can have a huge impact whether we are aware of them or not.  Try diffusing some lemon essential oil into your workspace every day and see if your concentration and focus aren't increased.  It might be harder to measure the actual improvements with something less concrete than typing, but I'll be you will get more done than you did before.
