I wonder if our work involves different type of thinking? I advise early stage startups, most of my time is reviewing go to market strategy, reading companies docs generally, and then writing emails asking lots of questions. If I'm reviewing a 150 page board deck, it can take me 4/5 hours to do it properly + notes, and I have to think pretty deeply about the deck, but I couldn't imagine doing it in silence, I'd go nuts.
- tharkun__ 5y agoI'm a team lead. I have enough interactions with people. There are phases of one meeting after another (video conf) or maybe a half hour in between here and there in which there's communication on various channels and topics in slack. There are also phases of not having that interaction and I might be checking how a particular piece of code works right now e.g. while triaging a bug that came in or I might be creating or reviewing a document, such as a flow chart, architectural diagram etc. Or coding something of various different degrees of difficulty. During none of these would I want any radio (or other kind of) noise. Not even the deep thinking and not interacting with people phases. I am also introverted so I like these phases. They recharge me. At some point the kids come home and I'll have noise again and by that time I want to be finished with work.
