In reply to Denise. OMG, YES! It was so detrimental to my own productivity to have everyone home.

In reply to Denise. Denise, I'll bet you are. The pandemic disrupted so many people's lives and spaces. I hope reclaiming your space goes smoothly and productively for you.

I'm ready to reclaim the space I lost before everyone came home for the pandemic. Husband will be at work away from home more days now, so that will help with me getting space and no interruptions.

In reply to Lisa Norman. Lisa, I'm glad you found this helpful--and that you switched off that bright overhead. lol. It's wonderful that you love your work area. I think it's important that we love the space where we do our creative work.

Excellent information, Lynette. I just reached up and flipped off the bright overhead light. LOL

My office is a tiny space away from the rest of the house. I love it because it is quiet and I'm separated from most of the distractions.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I get it. My first "office" was a table at the back of the dining room facing a room air conditioner. All I had to do was face the chair the other direction and I was ready for dinner. lol Not exactly ideal. Laptops are a boon for many of us. And noise cancelling headphones is a great solution.

I am absolutely hosed when it comes to space. My writing space is my laptop and I move it everywhere, looking for inspiration - the couch, the armchair, the kitchen table, the dining room table, Starbucks, local bars.

I miss having my own office, but we just don't have room for that at this point. There is an office that my husband and I share, but we can't work there at the same time so I move around.

I've learned that noise-canceling headphones are the key to my creative happiness. 🙂

In reply to Christina Anne Hawthorne. How wonderful that you are aware of being a nester and needing that nest. Your curtain is a color that helps give the impression of water and space, no matter how small the actual space. Thanks for reading and good luck with the decluttering!
