Headphones! When I went from cubicles to an open-office layout, I hated it at first. I had massive noise cancelling headphones to drown out chatter or keep people from just walking up talking to me as if I can hear/engage. Kinda passive aggressive but idc. Brown/pink/white noise helped or some lo-fi, if I wanted a tune. After a while, I think you get used to most of the chatter but you can’t really help people starting a convo or pulling you out of your zone.

I don't think this would do it for me, but I don't know. I'm so comfortable working from my home office and venturing out to a coffee shop when I need a little extra stimulation... I feel like a full day in the office would send my poor brain into overdrive.

I'd be willing to try it. I've used binaural beats for years and recently added brown, pink noise. I like the idea of a standing phone booth. Even better if you could sit/stand in a box with your back turned. I loved the sitting areas as well. If they've stopped the lights from buzzing and added ambience/noise I think I'd like it a lot.

Binaural beats work the best for me!

Understood is a great non profit, but everyone is different I'd say.

I like drum n bass and hardcore for work, that definitely not brown noise

nothing gimmicky here at all. this is thoughtful design and will be very helpful to the sensory sensitive.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
