The following questions refer to your feelings or thoughts about your workspace. Your workspace is the small environment that you are currently working in, and includes the chair and desk, the computer, keyboard and mouse, and the space around you. In this definition of a workspace, we are not interested in the larger room or in similar spaces that may exist, but rather in your personal workspace that you are in right now.
