Where do you work best: office, home? (šŸ” vs šŸ¢)

Recently, I asked people when they feel most productive: morning, afternoon, or evening, and got some really interesting answers. Now Iā€™m curious about something else: where do you work best? Home, office, a cafe, or somewhere else? For me, itā€™s not so much about the specific place, but two things really matter: 1. It needs to be quiet. Thatā€™s why, when I go to the office, I usually arrive super early, before anyone else is there. At home, itā€™s naturally quiet since I live alone. Iā€™m also lucky that my coworkers donā€™t usually show up until lunchtime, which works perfectly for me šŸ˜„ 2. I like to change things up. After a few weeks of working from home, I start to feel like I need a different vibe and head into the office. But after a while, I start missing the comfort of home and switch back. Itā€™s not on a set schedule, more like cycles of 2-3 weeks. I know some people love working in cafe. Thatā€™s always been surprising to me because Iā€™m someone who thrives in silence and calm, with as few distractions as possible. What about you? Where do you feel most productive? What makes a workspace work for you? And do you stick to one place or switch it up?

Working from home for a long time is tough, and the coworking spaces nearby just donā€™t work for me. Lately, Iā€™ve been working from a cafe, and luckily, I found one that I really like. The interior is designed in a nature-inspired style, which is so easy on the eyes, and youā€™re not stuck staring at a gray wall like in an office.

From my personal experience, working from home is great for productivity and focus, but Iā€™ve noticed that the creative process often kicks in when I change my surroundings. Thatā€™s why I find it helpful to work from different places occasionally - it brings fresh perspective and boosts creativity

Itā€™s easy for me to work in both places. I choose the office on days when my team and I have a lot of meetings, as itā€™s much more enjoyable to hold them in person

It would be easier to switch to a purely work mode in the office. But now it would be more convenient for me to work at home.

Even if working from home or a coworking space isn't ideal, finding other environments you vibe with like a nature-inspired cafe can make a world of difference for your productivity and mood! Sometimes discovering that spot that just works for you is key... whether it has the perfect ambiance, layout, location, etc. šŸƒā˜•šŸ’»

For me, I work best in the office. I find that having a dedicated workspace with fewer distractions helps me stay focused. Plus, I enjoy the vibe of being around colleaguesā€”it keeps me motivated. Overall, the office environment works for me.
