Open plan introduces visual as well as audible distractions. Headphones don't help there.

I'm glad we have lots of small meeting rooms around. When the vibe is energetic or distracting (e.g. Party/large gathering) and I need to focus I grab a room.

Sometimes the rooms are booked but often that means the open-plan area is less noisy.

Also I wfh 1-2 days a week as needed.
