The great thing about being a freelancer is that you are not limited to office space. But working where you live is very problematic. Why it is worth looking for other places to work and where to go.
Service-service, and the rest has not been canceled
Working in an apartment or house where you live is uncomfortable for several reasons:
- your household thinks that you are “bullshit” or ask: “Why are you at home all day and haven’t done anything?”;
- it is very difficult to rest when the workplace is at home - you cannot get away from your work thoughts, and your hand still reaches out to your native "clave";
- a lot of things immediately arise that distract from work (especially for housewives).
Freelancing means self-organization, and if you do decide to work from home, then organize a special work space away from the sleeping place. This time.
Second, be clear about your time for work, breaks, and household chores. Sometimes it’s the fact that you didn’t wash the floors or (oh, my God!) Didn’t put the broth to cook, and didn’t wipe the table yet, didn’t wash the mug, or the child from school is about to come. Sound familiar?
If you are a mom, and you can't leave the house, then the tips above are for you. As soon as you send your child to the kindergarten, and the student becomes more or less independent, start looking for a job that does not need rent.
Library
We bet that half of the people have completely forgotten about the existence of this place. However, reading rooms have been and remain the best places to work: quiet and free. In addition, libraries now have sockets for connecting a laptop near each table, so the operating time will not be limited to one charge. Bring tea, a couple of sandwiches with you. And for lunch you can drop by home - there is a library in every district of any city within walking distance from home! Believe me, librarians will only be glad to see you!
And one more plus - most libraries have wi-fi. True, in some it will be necessary to pay a very symbolic price for it. And yes, if your library has computers, then you don't need to drag a laptop, but find out the terms of use in advance.
Cafe
This option is also present, but nevertheless, a fee is needed there - in order to sit in a cafe with a laptop for a couple of hours, you will need to buy at least some coffee or tea. Wi-fi in big cities in catering places is often free. This option is good for the duration of one laptop charge, since not everywhere they allow you to waste electricity, but it is very convenient if you need to retire to write one article. True, there are some drawbacks: the surrounding noise or unobtrusive music may not be to someone's liking.
Nature
Oh, this wonderful nature! It allows you not only to write to order, but also to create! If you write copyrighted materials, stories, novels, then there is no better place than nature. True, there is one "but". Nature with a laptop is good in private homes where there is electricity and wi-fi (if you need internet). You can work in the park, but don't forget about mosquitoes. In general, the reality of outdoor work is very harsh. Especially on summer days: it is too hot, then the wind, then midges. Try to choose the most comfortable time.
In the forest or on the beach, it is better to use a pen and a notebook. In nature, you can think about future articles, topics, write in a notebook or take notes on the phone, and later bring them to life at the laptop.
