@nmhouston Hiya, Natalie! Great to have you on #prodchat today!
-
@AllyFiesta Welcome to #prodchat, Ally! It’s going to be a great convo!
-
Hey, Tracy! Great to have you here! RT @tracybrisson Have some time tonight and want to drop in on #prodchat!
-
#prodchat Hello, I’m Ally. I’m a blogger at t.co/2PEmCVvDWx and I’m in college. I also do a million of things not online. -
@rsidneysmith looking forward to it! #prodchat

Q1: IS YOUR WORK AND/OR HOME OFFICE SPACE OPTIMAL FOR #PRODUCTIVITY? #prodchat
-
RT @rsidneysmith: Today’s topic for #ProdChat is all about, how do I make my environment as friction-less as I need to get more done? -
I’m Tracy. Live in Savannah & own @oppsproject which does talent development, coaching and recruiting. I also write books. #prodchat
-
-
@AllyFiesta So you like to go to a cafe and do your work? #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson That’s an awesome cohabitation project! What do you need the wall space for? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I needed a place to stick my notes and a visual calendar. We bought Martha Stewart’s wall managers- love them #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith yes, I prefer to work at a cafe or bookstore. Nobody bothers me. This is only for writing. Research is best at home. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I hear that from many people. Is it because you get to control the space design/flow? #prodchat
-
RT @tracybrisson I needed a place to stick my notes and a visual calendar. We bought Martha Stewart’s wall managers- love them #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Absolutely! Simple workspace = clear mind = efficiency. #prodchat -
A2 Ohhh!! Big glass table with only my laptop and a cup of coffee on it, with wide view of the ocean like on #Graceland #ProdChat -
RT @tracybrisson A2. I’d love a standing desk, but not full time. And a conference table to spread out. #prodchat
-
Love a conf table!! RT @tracybrisson: A2. I’d love a standing desk, but not full time. And a conference table to spread out. #prodchat
-
good tip! “@AllyFiesta: @tracybrisson @michgunn hit up a thrift store or garage sale. I’ve gotten amazing $20 bc of a moving sale. #Prodchat
-
@tracybrisson I’m really thinking about installing a standing desk. I feel like I can’t do creative work standing, but other stuff #prodchat
-
RT @nmhouston My home office has 3 “stations” for different kinds of work: standing desk, work table, armchair. #prodchat
-
It sounds like an ocean view is a theme among the #productivity enthusiasts here on #prodchat!

-
@nmhouston Yeah, I have a couch and a long desk with dames-like roller chair. Nice light coming in the windows… #prodChat
-
@rsidneysmith Yeah. I don’t really have room though. Since I work from home, I try to keep all ‘work’ stuff contained in there. #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta That’s so true! I love being able to spread out when I can. #prodchat
-
teeheehee! RT @rsidneysmith: It sounds like an ocean view is a theme among the #productivity enthusiasts here on #prodchat!
-
@tracybrisson I understand. I work on the road most weeks, so for me it’s “can I carry it?” #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith @tracybrisson I love my standing desk! wouldn’t want to go back to full time sitting. #prodchat -
@tracybrisson I can just imagine trying to get through TSA with a standing desk! ;-P #prodchat
-
This is the table: Furinno Table t.co/2GSR2WLJ1Q #prodchat -
-
@nmhouston @rsidneysmith Wow! I can usually only do a standing desk for an hour before my feet want to die. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith any flat surface #ProdChat
-
@tracybrisson there’s an adjustment period. Also, try a rubber “anti fatigue” mat — makes a huge difference. (can get at amzn) #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith yes! I would love those especially in winter months when the weather is gloomy. #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta Isn’t it amazing?! I’ve been recommending them to every client when I walk into their offices and see their lights! #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta It’s also great if you are in a basement or interior office. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith if there is a study of productivity I would totally put them in my office! #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Oh wow! I can imagine…and bad feng shui too! #prodchat
-
-
+1 RT @rsidneysmith: A3: I want my workspace to have good acoustics…that is, dampen ambient sounds so I can work in peace. #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta it is bad for energy flow to have yr back to the door. but if unavoidable you can hang a mirror to reflect doorway. #prodchat
-
@michgunn @AllyFiesta @rsidneysmith Yeah. Now I face the door and have a window right behind me and the light is awesome! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I actually left some paper work I needed for tonight at home so that’s why I’m chatting now. LOL! but still a bummer #prodchat
-
@nmhouston oh good! Thanks for that. I never know when I’ll need that info! #Prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Yay! It’s so great to have had the experience so that you appreciate your new setup so much more. 🙂 #prodchat

Q4: WHAT OTHER THINGS DO YOU NEED IN YOUR WORKSPACE THAT HELP YOUR #PRODUCTIVITY? #prodchat

Q4: WHAT OTHER THINGS DO YOU NEED IN YOUR WORKSPACE THAT HELP YOUR #PRODUCTIVITY? #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta yeah, even a little one makes a big difference. You can feel the shift. (Feng shui is all about fixing things…) #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta Yeah, it happens on occasion to me as well. I try to make sure that I have a digital version of everything. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith my timer (set to vibrate not chime) transforms any space into a more productive one #prodchat
-
@AllyFiesta Even if I keep the paper…because then I will at least have a copy in the cloud should I forget the physical copy. #prodchat
-
“@nmhouston: My home office is much better for my productivity than my work office space. #prodchat” So true. Define the flow -
RT @nmhouston my timer (set to vibrate not chime) transforms any space into a more productive one #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Do you use a particular methodology for the timer? (like pomodoro?) #prodchat
-
RT @rsidneysmith: Q4: WHAT OTHER THINGS DO YOU NEED IN YOUR WORKSPACE THAT HELP YOUR #PRODUCTIVITY? #prodchat
-
Love that! RT @nmhouston: @rsidneysmith my timer (set to vibrate not chime) transforms any space into a more productive one #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I have a digital version but I wanted to write all over it so I’m taking notes in Word. #prodchat =/
-
@nmhouston I keep telling my boyfriend a dog will help our productivity! #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Most of my work is done on my laptop…so I have to design my digital workspace to allow for the best flow. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith That makes sense. There are digital tools that I don’t know what I’d do if they stopped working. #prodchat

Q5: WHAT MUCH DOES THE AESTHETIC OF YOUR WORKSPACE MEAN TO YOUR #PRODUCTIVITY? #formfunction #prodchat
-
Q5: WHAT MUCH DOES THE AESTHETIC OF YOUR WORKSPACE MEAN TO YOUR #PRODUCTIVITY? #formfunction #prodchat

@rsidneysmith the # of minutes & work/break ratio depends on what I’m doing. often 15, 20, or 40. #prodchat

RT @nmhouston A5: One of my productivity rules: choose tools you love. If you love the design or feel or color you’ll use it more. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I just build in reference to all that out of sight stuff in my system. That helps #ProdChat
-
+1 MT @nmhouston: A5: 1 of my productivity rules: choose tools you love. If you love design or feel or color you’ll use it more. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith What color did you go with? #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith I think sky blue would be good for me #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith Maybe with clouds and such… ohhhhh #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston ooh- that is a great idea! I do dance parties as a break all the time, but combining it with a declutter is brilliant! #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson one of the better ways to actually multitask 🙂 #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Oh yeah, that’s gorgeous! #ProdChat
-
@tracybrisson What kind of bag do you use for managing wires/chargers? I have soooo many…I need to organize them. #prodchat
-
A6 I like to dress up my devices in some art with @gelaskins #prodchat
-
@nmhouston That looks awesome! I might have to try that out! #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Not a worry. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@nmhouston No. It does require Livescribe paper. But you can also print out your own #ProdChat
-
Thanks #productivity enthusiasts for today’s #ProdChat! Join us again next week! Check out the transcript tomorrow!
-
RT @AllyFiesta A5 I will be 100% unproductive with out my tools. #prodchat
-
what a great #prodchat — thanks @rsidneysmith! I’ve got to run — see you all next time!
-
@nmhouston It’s pretty awesome though. Worth it in my opinion. I’ve been using it for years now #ProdChat
-
@michgunn @nmhouston @rsidneysmith I just downloaded an app on my tablet to handwrite w stylus and upload to Evernote #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Oh, cool! What app? #prodchat
-
@tracybrisson Oh!! Fun! Which app? #ProdChat
-
@tracybrisson @rsidneysmith @apinaud @nmhouston Totally going to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion! #ProdChat
-
