If you work from home

If you work out of your home, do you have a seperate home office that is only for work? I don't at this time since I am in an apartment. I want to work on renting a larger place so I can have a seperate office.

I work from home. I have an 'office' in that I have a dedicated computer room, but its a real mess and has day to day stuff in there too. I do plan to clean it up and make it more 'work focussed'.

I find that if I work at home and dont have a seperate area to work in I get distracted way to easy, so I set aside a room that I have my computer and every i need in, so i stay there all morning, then i set a side a dinner hour as such, and then go back to work and stay there until 6ish.

I just use my basic room. I've got a pretty big desk, so it's not so bad. I actually kind of like rolling out of my work chair onto my bed and passing out when I'm tired.

It's kind of nice. However, I do see the advantages to having an office room that's by itself and isolated.

I must admit I do find it quite challenging to do work while at home. There are a lot of distractions if you get what I mean.

Much like revision at school, I could only really do it in a "working atmosphere".

People have their own opinions for sure though, its a personal thing tbh..

My office is our living room. It works out pretty well because I'm always all over the place (rather than at home) so I don't feel as though it causes a problem. However if I was home 24/7 I would feel like I have no life.

None the less, I officially declare the pool in my complex as my true office

Yes there can be a lot of distractions working from home. But so far I seem to do pretty well.

I have an office in my basement, its decently effective. I hope in a couple years to get my own corporate office, though.

I have an office in my home and that's where I do all my work. I've got enough extra desk space so that I don't have to take paperwork out of the office to work on and can wheel around between all the various parts (computer setup, workdesk, printer station) with minimal effort (always important

).

I used to just have a portion of my apartment for my office, but I found it very difficult to separate out the parts of my life doing so. I found myself working way too many hours because no matter what time of day it was or what I had just finishing doing (watching a movie, for example), I'd see the darn computer and say to myself "I'll just log on and do a little work" and next thing I knew it was 4 am in the morning and I had to get to my "real" job at 8 am.

It helped me a lot once I got a separate room for the office, as I could close the door when I was done for the day and put it out of my mind. It really helped me to organize myself better, I think, too.

I don't have a separate home office, because I work out of my apartment and it's a loft, so... only one big room.
