Work: interesting work, or at least work that feels useful. Feeling that one’s work is meaningful and appreciated. Plan a little more and feature creep less.
Environment: peace and quiet. Minimize the noise and interruptions, which usually means walls and doors. Keep the meetings down, only those which convey information that can’t be done electronically (and asychronously) or involve the necessary decision-makers. Tailor “desk” to personality or mission requirements. Accept that real estate is a sunk cost.
