Weird/fun prompt—how much marginal problem-solving capacity could you create by making good domestic whiteboards way more viable? Domestic whiteboards are usually either too small or too obtrusive. There's rarely enough unbroken wall space; free-standing boards eat huge sqftage.

A ceiling-mounted retractable solution is appealing, but it seems hard to get the rigidity you'd need. Switchable glass seems promising. It's available as an aftermarket film @ ~$50/sqft. But it'd feel obtrusive to leave writing up for days, though, which is no good. …AR? :/

Whiteboards—particularly whiteboards persistent and big enough to accumulate writing for many days—create a change in consciousness! I straight-up think different thoughts when one's present. Doubly true in a collaborative situation.

Lots of people mentioned putting whiteboards in their home offices, but I think if you really did this right, you would be able to have one on demand in your living room, for spontaneous use when conversation turned in that direction.

One clear barrier to having domestic whiteboards anywhere but home office seems to be that one can hide them on demand. Persistent scribbles on an enormous surface in a living space are too visually noisy. And yet persistence is important. Tough tension.

Curtains seem like a good solution though I suspect few homes can sacrifice that much precious contiguous wall space.

this is something i’ve been thinking about — i think i’d find it stressful. we used to have a separate office & will again, but the idea of having my office stuff like, next to my kitchen, bothers me

Yeah. That’s why I think the switchable windows aren’t ultimately a good solution. Some companies market white boards in cabinets, but that kind of wall space is rare.

Whiteboards are great for problem solving with a group. At home I’m usually working alone and a piece of paper is pretty good. (Or an iPad whiteboard app 😉)

I hear you, but paper doesn't generate the same change in consciousness. Something about expansiveness and standing and persistent peripheral vision.
