Work and Leisure Space

The following article is an interesting one - it follows the idea of a public space in relation to technology turning what used to be a work environment, into an environment of complete distraction, turning work time into leisure time. This proved to be worked itself, which is basically what we discovered whilst doing our social intervention. "Even having the same thought process, making the same decision, is energy draining and will drain your willpower." In our experiment, any technological equipment was placed outside of the the 'leisure square' we created in order to eliminate any interaction with the outside world and any intrusions that relate to work.

The man described in this article that struggled with this used this problem to an advantage and created an app that did not allow you to go online as long as you desired in order to combat the issue of work space turning into leisure space.

This article sums up the "paradox of choice" quite nicely.
