Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is BirdDog10’s morning workspace:

Summer days in D.C. are swampy, hot, and sticky, and working outside is a miserable experience for me and my computer. So, I’ve been visiting BirdDog10’s photograph in our Flickr pool the past three months and longing for the days to get cooler. Thankfully, fall has had an early arrival and this past week I’ve spent a good chunk of my work day out on my porch. BirdDog10’s image also has served as a reminder to take advantage of the spaces afforded to you in your workplace. Since I work from home, my porch is my second office. When I was a teacher, many classes were taught at the picnic tables in the school’s garden. And, when I worked downtown, I could sometimes be found on the break patio, high above the city streets, with my laptop. Often times, switching up your work environment to a more casual location can inspire you in ways that your cubicle walls cannot. Thank you, BirdDog10, for this serene, minimalist, and blissful addition to our Flick pool.

Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.
