As people tend to be more mobile than before, and flexible workspace does have advantages though there may be negative effects.
First, it gives flexibility in terms of working time. We can use a laptop, iPad or smartphone to work at anyplace and anytime. We can even utilise a cafe whereby it is meant not only for coffee but also extended time for people to do their things as long as they would not intrude other people’s privacy.
Secondly, it provides a variety of working environment. As it can cause tired feeling for some people working at the same place all the time, to be at a different workspace can perhaps provide freshness for them. Consequently, this may enable them to work more efficiently.
Nevertheless, flexible workspace may also have negative effects to some people. One of the negative effects is about work discipline. As it is flexible working time, a person who lacks discipline may procrastinate one’s work or being distracted due to a new working environment. For those who work hard may become over busy like the workaholic since they virtually can work as long as they want without keeping standard office hours.
We are in a different time, and each one has to be wise and able to inculcate a working habit, which is not only effective but also healthy.
处在一个移动的世代，今天使用伸宿性工作空间确实有好处，尽管它也可能会产生负面的影响。
首先，它使工作时间具有更大的伸缩性。我们可以使用笔记本电脑，iPad或智能手机便可以随时随地工作。我们甚至可以利用一个咖啡馆，而它已经不仅意味着喝咖啡，並且也可以作为其中一个工作空间，只要使用者不会打扰到旁边的人。
其次，伸宿性工作空间提供了多样化的工作环境。一些人长期处在同一个工作场所会産生厭倦感；而换了不同的地方会可能令他们有新鲜感，以致加强了工作效率。
然而，伸宿性工作空间也可能对某些人产生负面影响。其中一个负面影响即有关工作纪律；由于工作时间很多伸宿性，缺乏纪律的人便可能会拖延时间完成工作，又或者新的工作环境会使一些人分心。而对于那些努力工作的人来说，因为他们無需要按标准办公时间作息，这可能会促使他们过于忙碌形成了工作狂。
我们如今处在一个不同的时代，每个人都必须有智慧及培养一个不仅有效，並且健康的工作习惯。
