Tweak Time?

The studio has come together fairly well. Getting myself back on schedule after the Godley Horehound adventure (November) and the Houston / San Antonio interrupts (on-going) has been tough, but I seem to be pulling it off.

I am beginning to think it is a problem that I am still sleeping on my travel cot in my studio. That works fine on the road, but here at home it feels like it invites me to avoid work all together.

Just sorting...

I can relate -- we do need to be well sorted.

Sort away... I keep my computer time out of th bedroom to help me keep my physical spaces and head spaces "in sync".... THis is where I eat, this is where I sleep, etc.... Just gives me that sense of separation between things to do and be done... Did that make sense?

Sort away!

The separation of "work" space and "leisure" space is almost necessary when you are an independent operator. It would help if you work late in to the night to meet a deadline. That way you could be up and back at the project right away. But otherwise, not making the bed a stationary piece of furniture would probably help set the time boundaries of your work.

Keeping in place the set work and play times to a schedule...but you know this. I am just really agreeing with you.

My studio is exactly that: a studio. No house attached. Two small rooms and a bath. I have had bigger hotel rooms. The fact that I can stay on task working out of hotels, camps, backpacks, etc., but struggle to stay on task at home has me a bit mystified.

Arfie, sounds crazy, but my hubby hits that point (he works from home) and when he does, he has to "get out" for a day and work elsewhere. He says for him it's not distractions, it's the sense of sameness getting on his nerves. Like he's still back in Corporate Cubicle Land. Just an idle thought idly tossed your way in case that may have something to do with it? That sense of enclosed "must" to it, whereas other spaces feel like they've got "exits"?

Congratulations on the studio. If you ever want to post photos of it, it would be awesome!

The tweak of the day was to rearrange the studio so that one room contains work and the other room contains sleep and food. I find myself wanting sleep elsewhere and come here for work, but for now, this is what I have to work with...

We see what grows...

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
