I get a kick out of watching my space evolve (hopefully to an ever-more-functional level and not the other direction)...Alina Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305597686935121239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-84900223558674319892012-05-30T16:53:26.845-07:002012-05-30T16:53:26.845-07:00I hear you, Ellen!

No way I can do that! My husband and I actually share one big room as our office, and neither one of us is a neat-freak. Just the opposite, I'm sorry to say. Maybe a new goal is in order for me.

I can relate to all the perks of 'working from home' you've mentioned, but I did struggle with discipline -- perhaps partly because I kept telling myself I was also on holiday! Spending hours online reading blogs was the worst of the time sucks!Ellen Gregoryhttp://ellenvgregory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-29760553854487418262012-05-22T09:47:10.923-07:002012-05-22T09:47:10.923-07:00Truth!

Even keeping a blog can be distraction from writing a book :) I'm glad you're updating the physical components of your office, though!

Caitlin did not detail the condition of your early home office, although I know firsthand the loveliness of your library :) What you said is absolutely true: it requires a lot of discernment to distinguish between distractions and divine appointments.

If I can't work up the energy to write, I currently get side tracked to playing rummy cube, lol.Angela Wallacehttp://angelawallace.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
