I’ve seen on some blogs people post pics of their home offices so I thought I would do the same. Then I started thinking how boring it is to see a picture of a bunch of lame LCDs lined up. So here is my office, where my “real work” gets done everyday.
One of the greatest things about being self employed is having time to get out everyday for some exercise and fresh air. Oh it’s not always easy when you are a workaholic and get bogged down in projects all day. But when I quit my day job, I set a routine that every day around 3pm, no matter what is going on, I turn off the computer and head outside. Either a mountain bike ride on my trusty Titus, a hike up some mountain, or even paddling a bit in my kayak at a nearby lake. This time is as crucial to my day as checking my PPC stats. All my best ideas have come to me during these activities. My advice to everyone is to get out an do something everyday, no matter what it is. The Internet will wait for you to get back!
I agree completely In taking breaks. Atleast one point during my day i take a break (usually the afternoon), usually my wife has an errand to run, I join her or I just take a break and veg for a little while. but no stats, landing pages, ads etc…
