How to know its time to MOVE OUT of your HOME OFFICE

Back in the 90's when it was 'cool' and cutting edge some of us set the trend in 'work from home'. Anyone with ADD who needed to muti-task to survive and stay sane would focus on being organized, efficient and dedicated; and could make a living. Even when there were children under foot, buses to meet and peanut butter to clean up it was fun; but that sedated time of work focus was like a fireball of energy and productivity with purpose. After a decade and a half it's just what we do and who we are.

So as I sit here with turkey gravy staining this first draft 2011 audit report, and milk from a cereal dried to a goo on the cover of the 2012 spring project outline, I'm thinking it might be time to get out of this kitchen.




HOW TO KNOW ITS TIME TO Get out of your home office.

1. There is ever dried food stuck to a report and coffee cup rings on your binder

2. If an important client calls back on the house phone because you forgot to press #block when you left him a message, and listen to your all too unprofessional grandchildren sing a long holiday greeting on your home phone voice mail.

3. If your pet ever got the scent of surf and turf from your in-restaurant business meeting on your briefcase and went to town looking for a 'treat'

4. If the Jehovah's witnesses ever rang your door bell during a conference call.

I predict more co-op offices, or office sharing in the very near future.
To my creative readers that work from home leave your additions to the list in the comments section. I bet you guys can come up with some fun ones!
