You have to dish out the gold, to get some silence.

My house doesn’t have a space I can use with a door shut and I need some quiet to focus and talk on the phone. It’ll also help me better define my workday. I hate cubes, hate having to sit in an employer’s office all day when sometimes you’re just waiting on something, hate open layout offices, but I guess I do need something a little more structured for the sake of my productivity.

In my opinion, it will allow for much greater collaboration between team members and probably a more upbeat and fun work environment. I also think that the flexibility of many workers now being able to work remotely will help to balance out the need for a quieter environment. Event though some of these new workspaces include private meeting rooms, there may not always be a guarantee that one will be available when it is most needed. Being able to work remotely from a home office will help to ensure workers get that “concentration” time in order to get those tight deadlines met!
