Working from Home tips

Been sniffing about the web and found this blog on how to set up a home working environment that is productive. Work From Home Wisdom

It seems to be saying sensible things to me.

There’s also some information on there about “Jelly” – not the stuff in trifles, but a shared co-working event for freelancers and homeworkers.

We might be trying our own Jelly here, so watch this space, or drop us a line if you’d be interested in co-hosting.

Caroline’s Story

borderdom — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:33:50 +0000

I am self-employed and work online so in theory can work anywhere.

For two years I worked from home around my young family before hearing about hotdesks. After doing a quick mental calculation based on the rate per hour and how much harder I would be able to work in an office environment it made complete sense to give hotdesks a try. I had expected to increase my efficiency – no stopping to do the laundry etc. – but had not realised how much better working away from home would be. Being in an office environment makes me (and others) take my business more seriously and as the hours I spend at the hotdesk are paid for I make sure that I am making the best use of my time when I am there.

Working at hotdesks has improved my efficiency as hoped, but more importantly it has allowed me to separate my work from the rest of my life and provides me with a peaceful environment free from distractions.

The camera is coming out tomorrow to get some photos of “life” at Hot Desk Peebles.

Watch out fellow deskers!!! Better wear your best work clothes – no jogging pants!

We’ve got another advert in Peebles Life in February, as well as one in Peebleshire News coming up.

Did you see us in there?

We’re hoping to spread the word, and are getting some posters out there too.

If you’ve got any (free!!) ideas, we’d love to hear them.

It’s time to get a hot desk.
