Targeted ads still mean someone's using your location without asking.

Show them the boring parts upfront. It filters out the dreamers fast.

The pajama dress code thing is exactly right. It sounds small but when a place makes a rule about what you wear, it changes the whole feel. It stops being a spot where you can just work and turns into a place with invisible rules. That blazer story sums it up, it's about control and a certain image. They want the look of a busy office without understanding why people left. It really does become another kind of cage, just with a more casual name.

That story about the dozen lost bowls is heartbreaking. Clay really does have its own non-negotiable schedule that you can't rush without consequence. Good on you for setting that boundary with clients now.

True, it's like we've traded those built-in pauses for non-stop access. @andrew_scott38's router unplug idea is funny because it shows we have to manually create disconnection now. Society's obsession with efficiency erased a lot of natural breathing room.
