Flexible workspaces are becoming increasingly popular due to the rise of freelancers, remote workers, startups, and larger companies looking to reduce overhead costs and offer more flexible working arrangements for their employees.
Noise is the aspect that I suffered from the most in open space work environments. If you have a colleague who is a loud talker, it can ruin your day/week.
I like the option to choose my environment and had the luxury for 10 years to do so. Two days/ week from home for deep work and 3 days a week in the office focusing on communication and collaboration. It was perfect for me.
Thanks Maria for sharing your experience! I think indeed the power lies in choosing and testing out what you feel most comfortable with and what makes you most productive!
