"Be curious, not judgmental." - Walt Whitman quotes from Quotefancy.com

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sometimes you've got a great organization plan and you're ready to move on it. Other times, you stare at a desk, a closet, or a room, and you feel utterly hopeless. Try helping out someone else with their clutter to get some new perspective and ideas.

Erin Doland of the Unclutterer blog notes that a big part of her advancement as a writer came when she was forced to explain and back up writing rules for students. Helping friends out with their own projects, and forcing yourself to explain the choices you're suggesting, can clarify your beliefs and expand your thinking. But you don't need to have friends in need to get outside your own problems:

If your friends aren't game for such an activity, donate some of your time to a charity to clean out and organize a soup kitchen pantry or a game room at a women's shelter or a clothing closet for a group that provides clothes for job interviews. Mentor your children by bringing them with you to sort materials at a charity's donation site. You don't have to work with people you know to build your skills, and it's often easier to work with items void of your sentimental attachments.

What have you learned by helping friends and relatives with their organization projects-other than how many magazines the average person can do without?

I want to work somewhere with a warm, open office layout

Office Space that is "Modern and Exudes Warmth" - Space Matrix

Space Matrix was tasked to design Piramal Enterprises ' offices located in Mumbai, India.

The Piramal Group is a business conglomerate with operations in over 30 countries and a presence in more than 100 markets around the world. The new facility brings five existing offices of the company in Mumbai under one roof.

It's a modern office with work zones modeled after self-sufficient Indian neighborhoods. Luxurious interiors with elements of nature incorporated within the four walls. These are some of the standout elements of a new, integrated facility that we have designed for the Piramal Group in Mumbai.

The mandate for our design team was to create an office space that was " modern and exudes warmth." Piramal wanted the office to radiate a cozy, nurturing vibe that went with its corporate values of " knowledge, action, care, and impact." Running parallel to this theme was biophilia, the concept where natural materials and green elements are used to promote well-being, creativity, and productivity.

Piramal wanted us also to create a cohesive office space in which people from seven departments and diverse cultural backgrounds could work together.

We used these guidelines to turn the 146,000 square feet space into a contemporary workspace for over 900 people. We chose bright and warm tones for the finishing and warm natural materials like wood, used glass walls to play with sunlight, recreated scenes from daily life on the walls to create a pleasant office setting, and brought the Indian courtyard concept for social gatherings.

Workshops helped the design team define workstyle requirements A tough challenge was to incorporate the needs of different user groups and employees across various bands into the planning. For instance, we needed to understand the ratio of users to the formal and social spaces, or which business units are necessary to have proximity to each other. We conducted a series of workshops to capture the teams ' requirements for workstations, reprographics and storage, meeting rooms, training rooms and collaborative spaces.

From hierarchical office into semi-open space with collaboration zones - the insights enabled the team to get employee buy-in for the big transition from a hierarchical office environment to a semi-open space with multiple collaboration zones.

Each work zone follows the concept of a self-sustaining Indian neighborhood. Each cluster (neighborhood) has collaboration spaces, meeting rooms, and storage and repro units that cater to each team's requirements. And in between these clusters, there are spaces where employees can socialize, much like a courtyard in an old Indian home. A courtyard can be used for informal meetings, and mini town halls, or have an open library.

During the planning stage, we received multiple change requests from Piramal on the headcount. Using the modular concept of standardized workstations, we gave them a flexible solution to accommodate changes in the future without having to break down walls. For example, within the footprint of a cubicle for management, Piramal can accommodate four linear workstations for employees.

Meeting rooms, pantries, and collaboration spaces maximize space utilization and the use of natural light. The workstations face the glazing side to maximize natural light. Collaboration spaces act as natural dividers between neighborhoods. The meeting room walls are not of full height, which gives the area a sense of height and openness.

To incorporate nature, we have provided space on top of the storage units in the aisles for planters and have used plants in open boxes for the library and pantry. The reception also has multiple planter s.

Piramal wanted a luxury hospitality ambiance in the lobby and a homely feel in the office space. For that, we have used design elements in such a way that the lobby and the office space do not look distinct from each other and yet have a different feel.

We have replicated certain elements to maintain continuity between the two zones. For instance, in the lobby, the team has used the key feature in wood and bronze for a luxurious feel, and repeated the same design in a lighter wood for a homely look. In the reception, the woodwork is in the form of vertical rafters that merge into the ceiling to create continuity.

The intermediate bronze panels graphically represent leaves to reinforce the nature theme.The two-storeyed columns are clad with light veneer for a complementary contrast.

The result is an expansive office with zones that are clearly defined but well integrated into the whole workplace. It is an office in which employees can work, play and socialize in a contemporary, relaxed environment.

As audiences near the last few episodes of Ted Lasso Season 2 on Apple TV+, it looks like the third season is in full swing as of this week. As reported over at THR, pay negotiations had previously begun to take shape ahead of the hit show's Season 3, with deals closing after the Labor Day weekend that will see notable figure increases for several key cast, members of the writing staff, and showrunner Bill Lawrence. According to the report, said negotiations actually delayed the opening of the writers room by about a month, but the third season of Ted Lasso is still poised to remain on schedule for its planned release sometime in summer 2022.

THR reported that lead Jason Sudeikis, who previously earned between $250,000 and $300,000 per episode, renegotiated his contract for a pay increase up to around $1 million. Several of his fellow Ted Lasso castmates, including Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple, as well as Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein (the latter two of which also serve as writers on the series), also negotiated new contract deals heading into the Apple TV+ show's third season. Other actor deals will likely begin closing over the next several weeks as Warner Bros. Television and Apple nail down separate licensing deals, with Apple responsible for additional costs associated with the series.

As for the future of the show beyond Season 3, Sudeikis previously commented that there doesn't seem to be a plan for Ted Lasso to continue past three seasons: "[The] story that's being told - that three-season arc - is one that I see, know, and understood. I'm glad that they are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don't know." Given that Season 2 has been compared to The Empire Strikes Back, it sounds like the third season could be shaping up to be Return of the Jedi - which would be a fitting end for Ted Lasso, all things considered.

In addition to Sudeikis, Waddingham, Temple, Hunt, and Goldstein, Ted Lasso stars Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Nick Mohammed, Sarah Niles, Toheeb Jimoh, Billy Harris, Kola Bokinni, Cristo Fernandez, David Elsendoorn, and Charlie Hiscock. The series has been nominated for 20 Emmys, and Sudeikis received the 2021 Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy.

New episodes of Ted Lasso Season 2 premiere every Friday on Apple TV+, where Season 1 is also currently available to stream in its entirety. Production on Season 3 will begin in January 2022.

The Gladstone Library has 150,000 books in its collection for you to browse before bed.

Grab your passport, coziest pair of slippers, and your reading glasses: you can now live your wildest fairytale fantasies and spend the night in a gorgeous, neo-Gothic library in the Welsh village of Hawarden.

Founded by former British Prime Minister William Gladstone in the 1800s, the Gladstone Library claims to be the "finest" residential library in the United Kingdom, and is open to curious, open-minded, scholarly, and creative individuals and groups looking for a quiet space to read, study, write, think, and find inspiration.

Acclaimed researchers, historians, novelists, playwrights, and poets alike have been drawn to the Victorian space over the years. Among the vaulted ceilings, arched windows, and comfy armchairs, you'll find 150,000 books on subjects like literature, history, and politics, along with Gladstone-annotated copies of Homer; Dante; Walter Scott; and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. And if the long 19th century isn't your preferred genre, the library offers recently published books for contemporary readers to enjoy as well.

The library also has a cafe that serves afternoon tea, with a variety of teas, cakes, cones, and sandwiches on the menu, and a traditional British Sunday lunch to fuel your appetite for more reading.

But it is the hotel within the library that makes this gem truly unique. Starting at £66 (approximately $91), the library has 26 self-proclaimed "quirky" bedrooms, complete with book-themed wallpaper, laundry, and a complementary continental breakfast ( kippers are extra). The rooms don't come with TVs, but you won't even notice since you'll have thousands of books at your disposal.
