Do you ever wonder...

How much more you would be able to get done if you worked away from home?

I love working from home for lots of reasons but I find it so frustrating when I have a long list of things that I need to get done. It feels like I am always doing something at the expense of something else.

I am not moaning but I was just thinking how nice it would be to actually go to an office away from the home and have an entire day to concentrate!

oooh Im so jealous I would love an office - we have three computers littered over the house and upstairs its an office like room but with little ones its impossible to get up there.

I think I am just finding it frustrating today as both the boys are home and normally I would just have Casper. Oh, well.

I did that and have just moved back home. I found that I spent most of my time in the office taking phone calls and sitting making small talk with either my staff or people in the units, etc.

So I ended up spending about three days a week working from home so that I could get work done.

We decided on that basis to save the £1500 a month on offices and move the business here - so have had a nice new office built in my home which accommodates us all properly.

All the big stock and packaging is in storage now.

I have a friend with a studio which I look at with envy.....maybe one day, but its just not cost effective while I juggle work with the nursery run LOL!

That's just it, when we took out the lease on our offices we were 7 mins from school and 7 mins from home in a triangle.

Then the kids moved school's and it took the journey to about half an hour - plus another 15 mins in case the motorway was clogged up (regular occurance).

Whilst my DH generally does the morning run, I still found leaving at 2.45pm very restrictive.

We have a room upstairs but Ruby is in it at the mo until we decorate her new room - so I will have to keep waiting!

Well we have the study which I do my work in - though sometimes if I'm working on a website and want to put my feetup I'll sit downstairs or on the bed.

I don't think I'd get much done in an office out of the home to be honest. I like the fact that I can be comfortable while I work and if I'm feeling awful, then I know I can work from bed.

Also, saves me money. LOL
