Have You Ever Thought about Working from Your Garden?
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010There’s nothing that disunites people like the topic of telecommuting. On the one side, people say it’s marvelous, you have no travel, no lost time by merely having to be in one place for a set time, no purposeless group meetings, no tedious chit-chat that offices are noted for. But on the other side of the discussion, others say they just could not generate the self-control that’s needed to be a telecommuter. They might be a little bit disinclined to send any customers to their house. There’s simply too many distractions to even begin the day. Lastly, the company office is good just because they feel a need to escape the house.
Naysayers of telecommuting now have something that might really make them reconsider : the garden office. Garden rooms are built in your own back garden, not adjoining your home. A garden office offers a chance to get work done in a peaceful, creative environment, with greenery all around you, and a peaceful place to hold group meetings.
The idea that the garden studio is separate from your house is a crucial one. It gives you a chance to break away from home life to work. Using the net and VOIP, you can also very easily acquire a separate phone number only for the garden office.
Consider further advantages :-
- They’re environmentally friendly : the travel from home to garden takes only human footprints, not carbon ones
- You can conduct business at anytime of the day. Creativity can’t be turned on and off like a tap, so if you have a new idea, or only desire to complete a task in good time, step into your garden studio
- It’s a comfortable, illuminated, natural environment. No sick building syndrome here. No glaring light strips, grey partitions and cubicles
Garden studios can pay for themselves fairly quickly, and loan repayments for a garden office are often comparable, or less than, office rental costs.
