Workspaces

I worked from a lot of different places: home, hostels, student dorms, coffee houses, airports, trains, coworkings, rented houses. Some workspaces included armchair and table, sometimes I worked on the floor (about 1 month). Sometimes it was hot and sometimes I worked in shoes and hat. I used a big screens and few laptops, gprs and high speed internet connections. Sometimes it was quiet places and sometimes was a lot of noise.

The conclusion I made:

• developer performance mainly related on ability to focus on his work
• headphones and ambient music (try sky.fm) sometimes help a lot
• macbook air 13 is not worse than laptop 15' + HD1080 display
• battery capacity is valued
• work at table (armchair is plus) is more comfortable than on floor
• get up early allows to work in quiet and have more time to rest in daytime and evening
• don't plan to do programming on road
• the view outside table doesn't matter, wallpaper even more valued
• surrounding people, maybe the most important

How to focus on work:

• Прибери з робочого столу все
• Скажи "ні" безцільному інтернет-серфінгу
• Оштрафуй себе сам
• Хвалити себе тупо, але ефективно
• Вихваляйся успіхами
• Встряхнись - гарненько відпочинь на вихідних
• Склади список справ
• Признач час для спілкування
• Не зациклюйся на одній справі
• Розберися з поштою
• Забудь про особисте на роботі
• Слухай музику
• Велика чашка - запорука ефективної роботи
• Робота - гра
• Зміни своє ставлення до роботи

Location, location, location is overrated.
