173 - Work Happens Beyond Office Walls
Explore how redefining your workspace can boost productivity in "Work Happens Beyond Office Walls" on The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland. Discover the benefits of working in different environments and innovate your work habits.
Work Happens Beyond Office Walls
In today's episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we delve into the concept of redefining the traditional workspace. The episode, titled "Work Happens Beyond Office Walls," challenges the conventional belief that work only happens when we are confined to an office setting.
The inspiration for this episode came from my own experience of preparing for a 24-hour walking event. During my preparation, I took video calls while walking in a park, which sparked various reactions from people who assumed I wasn't working simply because I was in a green environment. This made me realize that our perception of a working environment is often limited to enclosed spaces.
Walking while talking significantly altered my flow of thoughts compared to when I’m sitting at a desk. This experience highlighted the need to rethink how we define our workspaces and how we can innovate both our work habits and our workplaces.
Main Takeaways:
Challenge Conventional Norms: Work doesn’t have to be confined to an office. Exploring different environments can enhance creativity and productivity.
Innovate Your Workspace: Consider how changing your physical environment can impact your thought processes and overall work quality.
Rethink Work Habits: Innovation isn’t just about tools and technology; it’s also about evolving our daily routines and approaches to work.
Join me in this episode as we explore how to break free from traditional work settings and embrace new ways of thinking about productivity and innovation.

Transcript:
When we sit, we concentrate and we are working. And when we are walking, we're not working. That's what I hear a lot. I'm doing this 24 hour walking thing. And while preparing for it, I'm doing video calls in a park while I'm walking and I get a lot of reaction from people. Are you off? Are you not working today? Because I'm in a green environment, I'm walking while I'm talking to the other person. I think we have a perception that working environment is always only in the office. If you are walking while you're talking to another person, your flow of thoughts is completely differently than when you're sitting in an enclosed space like I do right now.
I think we need to rethink the concept of work and find out how do we not just take what was always like this and figure out how things can be different. We need to innovate ourselves, we need to innovate the workplace and the work in itself.
