Business Life – Specify Your Territory

We spend the largest part of our day at work and it is important to feel comfortable during this period of time.

In order not to make your work the source of constant stress you should establish and define the borders in communication with other people. The best distance between the tables in the office should be 1.5 meters otherwise it will be intrusion in a person’s private zone.

The captains of the river vehicles have to stop in front of the area where running ahead is prohibited. They inform the other captains that their vehicles are going to enter those zones for other boats to correct their tracks.
