      Good morning and welcome back to another edition of Workspaces!
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      What a crazy week in my world. I'm a girl dad! 
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      And completely unrelated... we also joined Blue Sky and are checking it out. If you're on there give us a quick follow!
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      And now... onto today's workspace tour.

      I can build my workday around my natural rhythms, which sets me up to do my best work. Offices are designed to engineer serendipitous in-person connections. They are optimized for building relationships, not doing deep work. And cognitively demanding work is a solo endeavor. It requires putting your head down and focusing. Remote work in the right environment gives you more space to work in that way.
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      I’m an introvert who enjoys working this way, but I also acknowledge that connecting with others, having conversations, and working collaboratively is key to a healthy working lifestyle. So I make sure to do that through regular video calls, connecting with folks in person, and making sure there’s space for building relationships while working remote.
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      As with all things, it’s a balance.
