This home office thing is great!<\/p>\n
No interruptions from phones. \u00a0I don’t have my concentration broken by lengthy conversations about who is about to run what errand. \u00a0Crawling out of bed to make coffee fifteen minutes before the day starts is pretty alright.<\/p>\n
The best\u00a0part\u00a0is being told by my employers to put all my focus on the things they originally hired me to do. \u00a0I’m learning new faster than I have in years. \u00a0I’m getting work done much more quickly than I used to. \u00a0I’m happier. \u00a0I’m in that sweet, wonderful place where I get focused on the job at hand and lose hours doing it. <\/p>\n
I used to think would get too distracted to work in a home office environment. \u00a0It’s kind of the opposite. \u00a0The “office” is in another room\u00a0with a work computer and two paintings hanging up.\u00a0\u00a0I get so\u00a0distracted by work that tasks such as\u00a0“refill my water” go forgotten.<\/p>\n
For as much as I’m enjoying the quiet, the education, and the achievements, I’ve also been hanging out more at Starbucks. \u00a0I’ve been tempted to beg my friends for attention on Facebook, and not even lie about it. \u00a0“Guys my job is done is anyone on Skype can I buy you coffee or you know what would be awesome I’m really good at brushing hair I’ll totally just say nice things about you for five minutes straight without taking a breath I really want be around people right now and you’re people and you’re people I like.”<\/em><\/p>\n This is probably nothing new to most people who have also set up a home office. \u00a0It’s mostly a really good feeling.<\/p>\n But guys, my job is done so\u00a0I’m going to take a long walk in the sun then drive\u00a0to Starbucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This home office thing is great!
