Does your office environment effect you?

I was thinking maybe I should get an office space as well. It'll definitely help me become more productive. As much as I like working from home, there's just something about waking up and going somewhere in the morning. It helps me feel like the job is "real."
You have an office outside your bedroom? That must get noisy. How do you get any sleep with all those faxes and copy machines running night and day?
Yes, I need an office. I just moved to a new place in December.. before I had my office out in my living room kind of, so i'd get distracted. Now it's a 3BR house and I have my own office which is upstairs and away from everything. It does get cold, so I just leave my heat on full blast.
Yeah, a lot of places offer $300-ish pre-furnished (meaning a desk, basic chair, trash bin and desk plant(don't forget the plant!!)) single desk office spaces. They are used by anyone from startup accountants to graphic designers to people operating webshops and dropship fronts.
The entire atmosphere is just people (startups) working hard and being motivated. You meet actual people during lunch hours and the race to whoever parks the next Porsche outside is more motivating than any 'money shot' online...!
The most profitable 6 months in my life began the day I settled into office space to work.
good tip. never knew they had single desk offices like this.

ps; some (most?) of these places allow you to lease the offices part-time e.g. 2/3 days a week instead of full weeks!

I've worked in my own home office and the bedroom. For me it's more of a mindset than anything else. The best work environment I've had is my current set-up. I'm in the dining room.
We have a formal dining room that is hardly used. I turned the dining room table into my conference table so that I can have a "real" table should I need one. Against one wall is the desk with my bookcases (I have several). It creates the effect of a formal library with a full conference table available for spreading out documents, grading papers, and wrapping Christmas presents. It's also away from the action in the evenings when I work, so that's a nice benefit as well.

Let me ask you guys some questions...
1) how do you keep your stuff safe from prying eyes and thieves when working in a shared environment/single desk office? I'm always so paranoid of someone stealing my HD.
2) anyone have good experiences with offices in austin?

So you have on-the-fly, secure and fast file storage that is painlessly available at any computer you have it set on.
I'll be getting an office space soon. Since the last 2 years i've been working from my home office and since the last few months i'm getting a feeling that i'm getting unproductive day by day. I simply do not have the energy and motivation to work very hard when at home plus the distractions are a lot.
Good question, Braniac. Way to think before you type.
Me thinks anywhere from $50/mo to about $20,000+ per month.
wait it can be as llow as $50? that's crazy
that kind of office is in the middle of the ghetto or something? :338:
