While I was away from the office, we moved all the desks into a new space identical to our previous space, just one floor below it, and we left behind all the junk as storage.  Now instead of staring at a wall, I am looking out from the 6th floor at an intersection with a small forest visible out of the edge.  Not surprisingly, my ability to relax and just focus is markedly improved.  I can’t be sure, but I’d swear that the switch from drab nasty blue carpeting to warm brown cork flooring also is boosting my sense of ease.
