When I’m there, I feel like working and when I’m anywhere else, I don’t. I haven’t ever stopped to try and figure out what it is about the place, but I’ve assumed that someone must be thinking about it.
If you’d like to have some guesses:
it’s a very sterile environment with no distractions
I feel pressure to demonstrate that I’m working right this second, which may help me stay in near-mode
(One necessity for all this to work is, of course, that my goals be related to furthering my career and to accomplishing and learning stuff that’s positively correlated to my employer’s goals.)
My workplace seems, at times, to be well-designed to align my urges and goals for me.
(also: Congratulations, Anna and Carl on your wedding!)
How so?
