The energy of a place can have massive impact on your levels of productivity - or even the willingness of such. So can the people you are surrounded by, and they do not even need to be in your immediate sphere. Chances are, there are at least a handful of people who may even be slightly resentful of you and your position, including it's flexibility. In addition to that - having colleagues and perhaps bosses constantly wander by can actually be more anxiety inducing than anything else, because there will always be this small part of you that finds that you cannot get "lost" in what you are doing because of the anticipation of interruption.
Moving away from a space like that to one where yes, it may be noisy - but it is simply background noise makes complete sense.
See what you said up there? ☝️ That's what I feel but wasn't able to say so eloquently. You literally just reduced all those words I wrote in this post to one simple and accurate paragraph.
I think you're right on the energy or the tone of a place as far as productivity. no different to a couple setting the tone and mood around the events in their lives I guess. And as for people being resentful or jealous maybe? Yep, that too.
The café I go to is an eclectic place, very casual yet comforting. They play funky music and present themselves in an unpretentious manner. They also treat customers with a casual easy-going respect, remember what food and coffee we have and make us feel like family. Is there any wonder I feel better working there? I think also, at the café, I'm largely anonymous. I'm not a big fan of being the focus of attention, looked at, and being just another random person means no one looks at me, or if they do it's ok for me to ignore them.
You'd like it there Jaynie. When you come over I'll take you there. We can sit and
workhive together.Thanks for your comments; They are always welcome and valued.
Sometimes it is more beneficial to be more expressive about things... more words :)
Precisely.
Sounds good - but judging by the amount you and I write... there would probably be a lot of talking happening lol! Would be fun!
More talking and less writing you think? Seems legit. There's no red cappuccino on the drink menu but we'll make do I suppose.
I have no doubt - and perhaps I will risk a traditional Latté... it has been a WHILE, I miss them and also - I know I would be in good hands should I have a heart attack... I know you have some kind of rescue kit in your car lol... failing that, I know you have some ridiculous kind of four wheeled beast which can get me to hospital almost as quickly as my Mercedes :D kekekekeke!!!
You would be.
I do but would go with the more traditional, G-dog version, of chest compressions and CPR first.
The big dog is beastly-good...Like his owner.
One day I hope to take a ride in it, to some wine farm or just the mountains. I'll never own my own, I'm not that classy.
I know. Stop making me repeat myself, lol.
Why am I not surprised... lol!!!
Oh it's hard to be humble ;)
Happy to be the wine snob. :D
Sorry.
Because it's me.
What can I say but, yes.
You own it girl.
