Office Space

I've worked in bedrooms converted to an office, corners of living rooms, almost every part of the house except the bathroom. OK, I've taken an iPhone in there, but only opened game Apps...

It's important to have your office space, however big or small, wherever it is, be *dedicated* to office work. If you don't make this the rule, it becomes much harder to get anything done.

OK, you can make exceptions. For example, you could take personal phone calls in your home office just as you might at an actual office building. You can eat meals, listen to music, almost anything. But the caveat is this: If you didn't do this at the last office you worked in, it's probably going to distract you from getting as much work done as you had hoped. But, WTF, that's part of the reason you're working at home, right? So you can experiment and see what works.
