I've been waiting for someone to ask this.
Please, someone tell me: how did flipping bits in a coffee shop, or even more
puzzling, the wework desk, make more sense than flipping them at home
(assuming you can afford the $50/mo for broadband).
The cons are endless, chiefly noise, food crumbs, having to number
2 in a public restroom, and a pointless commute. Wework one-ups the coffee
shop by making you pay for all of the above.
People: do you realize how wonderful it is to take a dump in your own
bathroom, or pop a zit whenever you want?
- detaro 7y agoMany people don't like bringing work home, but prefer having separate spaces for it to keep it mentally separated. Some people find it more pleasant to have at least some superficial exposure to other humans during their work day, and find that they get totally withdrawn if they also work from home. Working at home also brings other distractions, be it things to do, family, ...
- jimmyvalmer 7y agoFair. But I'll deal with all manner of home distractions if I can avoid having to pack up all my gear to go number two (and having everyone around me see that I'm preparing for number two).
- stnmtn 7y agoThe extremely simple answer is I'm more productive when there's other people around me being productive. It's a weird social thing, but when I'm at my house it's a lot easier to open up a new tab and go to some distracting site without realizing it, whereas at a coffee shop I catch myself and tend to focus a lot more. You could argue "develop self-discipline" and, sure, you're right. But for me I just enjoy working more in those kinds of spaces.
