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.

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. https://twitter.com/jongold/status/1221109469456687105?s=21 …https://twitter.com/jongold/status/1221109469456687105 …

@saralahue brilliantly suggests: use the back faces of closet and pocket doors. Easy huge retractable domestic whiteboards! Seems broadly deployable. e.g. We've got pocket bedroom doors (normally hidden). I can slap some melamine on these to make a 64x80" retractable whiteboard!pic.twitter.com/YFAVO1vMoQ

We have a chalkboard in ours, for that purpose.

Maybe it’s a cultural change that’s necessary, then—so that people don’t perceive them as obtrusive. I suspect the aversive perception of visual noise is lizard-level though.
