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.

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.

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.

I installed a 16x6 whiteboard in the office that I love. Magnatag is a great product. Hanging one of their VisuGlass boards at home. magnatag.com/plain-glass-wh…

I’m envious that you have enough free contiguous wall space to make that happen at home!

Could get lots of insight by doing in -depth longitudinal case studies of a few teams, I think! Describe changes in thinking, experience, etc. maybe use a single-subject design from classic clinical work

I’ve thought a lot about painting my office with whiteboard paint. The process of finding and mounting an actual whiteboard is not appealing. But paint the room, and you’ve got whiteboard everywhere!

The downside of this is that it’s SUPER expensive 🤪

we've covered giant whiteboards with curtains / tapestries / etc before so the room doesn't look like a hacker house by default. or Magic Whiteboard paper if it's a short term thing pic.twitter.com/W4gq9a38Sf
