I try to go to different locations to energize my creativity.
That can vary from eating lunch at a park to finding a different
place to brainstorm. Whether I'm at a friend's house or
doing something outdoors, different things will spark different
ideas.

We're on the sixth floor, and there's an emergency
exit/stairway that we use as our "conference room."
There's no privacy elsewhere, so we go out there to smoke and
get things done.

[When I worked from home,] I would meet clients at
"Conference Room A," the fifth floor of ABC Carpets,
where they have wooden tables and these little rooms you could use,
and no one would bother you. During the summer, I'd have people
meet me at "Conference Room B," near a pond where you can
race miniature boats in Central Park.
