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.

Home, at night. Late at night is the best, when the world is sleeping, I can do a ton of things.
