The First Place is your home, and the Second Place is your office. You have assigned roles and tasks at each place, and you know nearly all the people in each. The Third Place is where you meet with people you don’t know that well, or maybe at all, and you exchange ideas, learn about other people, and enrich society and yourself.
A great article from Kevin Purdy on Fast Company (Why In-Person Socializing Is A Mandatory To-Do Item) that delves into the very sound reasons that you need to get out more and meet people face-to-face.
In 2012 I am formalising this time on a weekly basis a little more. I already have a couple of Third Spaces (Awesome Foundation Sydney, Vibewire fastBreak) but I will also be looking to make a small portion of this blog dedicated to in-person catch-ups.
Do you have a Third Space? Where is it and how do you use it?
