I was having a conversation the other day with a colleague about our respective remote work spaces.


For me, I have reclaimed my son’s room. He has the best desk in the house and a door I can close. With that space, it feels like work when I walk in and sit down.


I think it is good for my focus to be actually going to work in a space that is dedicated to work. When I leave the “office” at the end of the day (of course, let’s talk another day about when that is), there is a demarcation between work and home. OK, I’ll admit, not the brightest line I’ve ever drawn – but even with the faintest markings, it feels good.


How have you managed to carve out workspace in your space?

I have a desk in my bedroom that faces a forest. So when I need a peaceful moment I am watching deer and rabbits running, eating, and resting. Ah, the joys of nature without ever leaving my house!

This is my second home office. I had my law office at home when the kids were younger and I was still practicing. Then and now there is a designated space and while my work hours are not the same from day to day, I learned a long time ago that boundaries matter. I get up, get dressed and go to work. At the end of my work day I change my clothes, turn off the light and "go home." And some days, I do bring my work home with me, but I try to keep that to a minimum.

Like Fred. The dining room table. Feels like the best space to teach a class. But I know I need to clean my desk.... lol.

I'm the minority, I actually have an office I go to. Less than a mile from my home, it can be a nice walk. When you live in 600 sq ft with another adult - whom you love very much - having an outside office is mandatory. She has one too.

I get that and did it too. Was much harder when there were lots of people in my house.
