Rethink Your Workspace
Gretchen Rubin is back with her Wednesday helpful idea. This time, it’s a quiz to see if your workspace is driving you nuts. Based on her readings from within the book, A PATTERN LANGUAGE, Gretchen identifies a bunch of things that will ensure you have a workspace that you consider peaceful. Here are a few:
- there’s a wall behind you (so no one can sneak up behind you).
- there’s a wall to one side (too much openness makes you feel exposed).
- there’s no blank wall within 8 feet in front of you (or you have no place to rest your eyes).
- you work in at least 60 square feet (or you feel cramped).
It’s a neat list, and Gretchen writes up a great summary.

It is an interesting summary. I personally have a wall that I can just stare at if I feel the urge! If you define workspace a little deeper though, you can draw a distinction between virtual and tangible. In that sense, a lot of developers and coders see their workspace as their desktop which further describes someone!
I just got out of a philosophy class, can you tell?
