With record snowfall in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, I’m working from home today. It’s not an incredibly odd event for me to be working from home. My job is almost completely mobile, so I’m not necessarily chained to my cubicle (and if I were…I would be miserable)! Our leaders are pretty flexible about where we do our work (as long as it gets done). But I have a few FAVORITE things about working from home:
- Jack Bauer is by my side constantly. The little guy gets so excited when I get my laptop out, he sits by me and watches me type – super cute.
- MUSIC! Due to cubicle etiquette and the respect I have for my cubemates I usually listen to music with headphones on. At home, I can crank it super loud. Currently streaming on Pandora: Love Lockdown, Kayne West.
- Sunlight, vitamin D, and a window.
- There are almost zero distractions at home. I park in the garage, so no one even knows I am home to sell me cookies or bibles.
- Movement – I can get outta my seat to stretch, do high kicks, work on my squat form…whatever. I mean, honestly, I can do that at work too…it’s just I don’t get weird looks at home.
- I can put in a few extra hours without feeling like I’m working extreme overtime.
- I consciously try to be better about calling/emailing people back. Therefore, my work automatically improves.
Where do you do your best work?
