When is it Time to Ditch Your Home Office?

Pamela Slim:

Thirteen years of ‘living the dream’ as a self-employed work-at-home-office dweller who rolled out of bed in my pajamas to shoot off emails to clients around the world suddenly didn’t work. As my business grew, the glamour of being able to do a load of laundry while coaching a client in China over Skype started being outweighed by my inability to concentrate for more than eight minutes at a time.

So I moved into a quiet, bright, and peaceful office ten minutes from home. My entire life has changed. I can focus on my work. No one interrupts my radio interviews with requests to go to the potty. When I get home at the end of the day, I am no longer in half work/half home mode. I am tuned in to my family, ready to give them my full attention and love.

I wrote about the need for a physical divide between work and home back when I bid farewell to freelancing the first time. I’m working from home once again, but securing office space remains at the forefront of my mind.
