Lyceum: our offices follow an open-floor layout with a lot of natural lighting. In addition to our desks, we also have a few areas around the office with more casual seating. Our laptops are equipped to take our work wherever we want, and I think that freedom allows each employee to develop a workflow that works best for them.

Outside of our HQ, I enjoy visiting a nearby teahouse when I need to engage my creative side. The atmosphere of the teahouse is warm and inviting, and they always have great artwork on display.

What about you? What's your workspace setup, and how do you help encourage your own creativity?

Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply! Have you used light therapy lamps? I am having one at my home office. I bring my laptop and tablet with me and sit at coffee places now and then. I also have access to an office workspace in the nearby community.

I am a tea enthusiast, so I look forward to the day when I can visit the tea-house in your area!

I listen often to happy music from the 20-30's on the Dismuke Radio. Sometimes I listen to white / brown noise in my headphones.

I often take walks during the weekends, listening to podcasts as inspiration for my worklife.

All the Best,

Martin

Jonathan: How does it look at your office? Which is your favorite workspace outside Palo Alto Software HQ? Do you have a third place you are hanging out at, doing business activities?
