I’m not good at reading blueprints or visualizing a house as it’s being built. I just can’t see it.
But I love decorating the interior once it’s built. I get excited about deciding where to put the sofa, the end tables and the artwork. I need a container in order to be creative.
When we went suddenly remote, we lost our containers.
We’re working in a new place, with new co-workers (family, pets and neighbors) and a schedule that looks more open but fills up fast. It can be overwhelming- and we wonder why we can’t focus.
Today’s Tip: Take some time to design your container.
This is the new normal, so let’s get the home office set up in a way that inspires you and helps you focus.
Do you need more space? You can probably move somethings into the garage or out of the house. Will I ever wear my suits again?
Do you need less space? Maybe you need some dividers between you and the family. Stack some books, move a lamp, place a chair strategically.
Do you need boundaries? Block your calendar. Use that commute time for an extra long walk, actually eating breakfast, and listening to an empowering or reassuring ted talk.
Do you need some structure? Get a timer and decide in advance how long you will work on a project. A focused 20-minutes is more rewarding than an unfocused 40.
Caterpillars create a cocoon to transform into butterflies. Have you created your container?
