Moving out and moving up

Internet issues have been causing me quite a lot of trouble in the last two weeks or so. It's hard to write for an SEO website when you can't (reliably) get to the web.

On the bright note, I have moved my laptop from the dinning room table to the office.

My (mostly) wonderful husband cleaned out his (our) office and made space for me at my desk. Immediately upon learning this I moved my laptop in to the afore mentioned space. I didn't want to allow him time to swallow the space back up.

It is very important to have your own work space. When you are working at home you need to make a clear divide between home and work. One of the major components of this divide is a separate workspace.

When I am sitting at the dinning room table, in the center of the house, it is hard for my family to think of me as "working." There is a natural inclination for them to talk to me and interact with me. Ironically, they are doing this to keep from being rude.

There is also the manner of my 15-month-old son. No matter what I need to get done - no matter how important my task - if I am in his reach I will not get anything done. The dinning room table is well within his reach, making it a very bad work area.

So here's to a new life in the comfort of an actual office, with a closing and locking door!

Wish me luck, and more importantly, productivity.
