You don\u2019t even have to be in your office!<\/p>\n<h2>Since we humans are creatures of habit, we sometimes have to remind ourselves there are other options.<\/h2>\n<p>Other options are nice to keep in mind on days when working from home is not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you are feeling <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/actions-sad-days\/\">unmotivated or uninspired<\/a>. Perhaps you have house guests, remodeling projects, or other disruptions. You may simply feel you need a change of scenery.<\/p>\n<p>These are opportune occasions to explore alternative work environments.<\/p>\n<p>Some places may give you inspiration when you are low on creative juices.<\/p>\n<p>Some places might make you feel energized on days when you\u2019re tempted to take a nap or watch television.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose to work on your front porch, in a coffee shop or library, in a park, or on the bus.<\/p>\n<p>I personally love getting work done while I\u2019m getting a pedicure. I\u2019ve been known to plan entire programs while getting a 40-minute pedicure. Of course, the bonus is, I leave with pretty pink toes, as well as a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n<h2>So, my recommendation is to have two to five alternative work environment options that are viable for you.<\/h2>\n<p>You may know of some already.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know of any, do some research. Test some places out. Get creative about it.<\/p>\n<p>You will find that having these options available can positively impact your <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/open-box-productivity\/\">productivity<\/a>, your creativity, and your enjoyment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s great to be your own boss\u2026 in theory.
