Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Meike, about the work dullness – you identified some of the ways of improving your workspace yourself, when you descried it:* experiment with your audio environment: either speakers or headphones, either pop music, classical music or sound of the forest* get yourself a cup of tea with sugar and chocolate* try to find a more [...]
