Working at home
Comments (16) What’s the secret behind working from home?
Really, what’s the secret behind working from home and staying on task?
I don’t have a job that allows me to work from home. Frankly, there’s too much collaboration with other people in my office that it wouldn’t work.
But one semester in college, I did an individual studio where I “worked from home.”
Riiiiight.
I set up my spare bedroom with tables and all my architecture supplies. I put extra lighting in there and kept out all distractions.
Riiiiight.
I rarely used the space. When I did work from home, I ended up doing my work on my kitchen table. And even then it was difficult to get anything done.
To me, it felt wrong to mix “work” with “home.” I associate a strong sense of relaxation with being at home, and work doesn’t seem to fit into that picture.
But I know people who can do it! Steven works from home every once in a while. A few friends do it all the time.
What’s the secret? Is it some sort of discipline I am yet to learn? Or is it just a personality thing?
