As you can see from the dates on my blog, it has been a few days since my last post. I had some family things come up and took a break.
Now if I can just get used to doing that during the day. I have found that I frequently sit down in the morning and will go the whole day without really taking a break. I always have something to do or someone who needs something done. I will stop to eat, but that involves walking into the other room, grabbing some food ans sitting right back down at my desk.
I need to learn to just stop and step away from the computer for a few min and do something requiring more than just typing and moving the mouse. Going for a walk, a quick bike ride, jumping jacks, running in place or just stretching. It sometimes requires setting a specific time for a break. There will always be something that will seem more important, but you just have to do the Nike thing. "Just do it"
I will give it a try this week see how it goes.
Welcome to my world
Not sure why I am doing this, I really don't consider myself a person who has much to write about that others would be interested in. If you are one of the 3 people that I expect will, then I welcome you.
Office of one refers to the fact that I have worked alone in a home office for just short of 10 years now. The first 8 were OK but the last 2... not so much. I have realized that other than my family and people at church I have withdrawn and pulled myself out of the social world. I figure I must not be the only one that is in this predicament. So I am reaching out to others who may find that their best friend is a small window that can be measured in pixels. Lunch is what you do in tiny bites all-day-long and you are the only person in the world that knows how many branches are on the the tree outside your window.
Over the next few days or months, I will try to share some of the things that I have learned that make home office life better, some of the things I know I should do different but haven't, and any other things I feel like sharing with the world.
So... since this is the first post I will share my first observation about working at home.
The two best months of the year are June and August. June because you have had a very quiet empty house all year and you look forward to school being out so there will be family around again. August because you have had a summer trying to work in a noisy house with family always there and you can't wait for them to go back to school. Today was the last day of school.
