Best Work Not in the Office?

I like this article from the New York Times (found it via my Kindle) called, You Won’t Find Me in My Office, I’m Working. Here is a snippet:

The term “white space” implies a place set apart, physically and mentally. It is not only used by graphic artists to describe the empty space in a layout, but also by time managers to explain the minutes frittered away between appointments on office calendars.

Andy Hines, who studies the future of work at the Washington office of Social Technologies, a global consulting firm, said white space is “what we are looking for when we have thinking to do.”

As more an more workplaces become open and packed, we should seek to better understand how workspace affects productivity and stress.
