As art consultant, business for me happens 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. It is a national and international industry. No rest for the art-loving weary. Because of my never-ending days and hours on the clock, I’ve setup a number of places to work from. I have my business office and a home office. I’ve now set up a third office in my spare bedroom. Occasionally, I wake up there the next morning after having burned the midnight oil, and there are days when I’m not up for the daily commute; staying home works just as well.
I monitor a lot of live auctions, so this new setup where I’ve hooked up my laptop to a 32 inch TV, is perfect for that. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, so I can sit in bed while working. When I need a more business-like setting, I move my operations to my actual home office. Either way, I’m comfortable and happy working at home. When I like I need to be more productive, I get dress and make my way into my actual business office. I’ve really done all this to free up my bedroom and have it strictly as a place of rest.
Today, I’m working from my spare bedroom. It’s a hazy lazy kind of day. I’m trying to watch a movie but my eyes aren’t cooperating. They want us to take a nap. We’re fighting against it. We’ve too much to do. In addition to business, I need to take care of home. Laundry and cleaning are on the schedule. However, there will be leftovers for dinner 🙂 I would encourage you to work from home some days if you can. It is less stressful, you save money on gas and you pollute the environment a little less 🙂
