THE DREAM IN ACTION

How productive is it to have one place that you go to work everyday.  I sit in the same place everyday as many people do during their work day and I’m actually in a very good situation. I work on the 29^th floor of a building in

Today we had a full building evacuation fire drill that everyone obviously found out about early. In preparation we went to a local Starbucks (standard!) to work during the chaos.  I loved it.  It was so refreshing to be in a different environment event though I was still doing the same work. I was much more productive and motivated to do the same old work. 

It seems to me that this is the life of the work from home programmer or internet business guru.  You know that guy Craig, who started that list? Yea, that was this guy.  He got up each morning knowing that the only thing he needed to operate was an internet connection. He could make his cup of coffee, sit at his table or couch in his boxers and have a very productive day of work.  Must be nice.

I don’t think that an office is so necessary these days. Working from home is becoming a much more viable option with the availability of internet at coffee shops and the like.  Face to face interaction will always be needed from the client but at the same time as long as people get the results that they expect both on-time and on budget they don’t really need to see who delivers those results.
