With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.I see the value in having quiet areas to think, I agree that it is important, but I at times find the quiet distracting. I sometimes work better in environments that have some level of noise, nothing like a club, more like a somewhat crowded cafe. So are you talking about “quieter” environments such as a cafe, or are you talking about complete silence in your observation?
Welcome to Veritula, Lola.
I generally like complete silence when I think but sometimes I’ll play soft music to mix things up.
You make a fair point, so I’ve updated my blog post to reflect that the ideal noise level varies based on people’s preferences.
Basically, choose a noise level that maximizes your ability to think and hear your own thoughts.
