Re: Home office too homely

I would say RB has it about right . Trading out of a home office has many challenges and is very dependent on personality type for success. I have traded out of my home for the last seven years during that time I have also built an addition to our house and landscaped the entire property. point being sitting in front of a pc constantly is boring for me, so I trade equities at the close and carry overnight , most days I'm out by noon if not sooner.

The answers are not on a site, forum, or on your computer at all. The answer is, forget the computer and spend time with your family. And of course, working from home almost never works, unless you can really seperate the work from the home time. Most can't.

Hi all

Has anybody got a site or forum where i can get some ideas/answers to
questions/problems about 'working from home and the family'?

Basically i have only about 100 problems.

Mostly its their perception on what i do and how much time it takes...

the top 3 is stuff like ummmmmm

Spouce thinks i have done a lot of work when the lawn is mowed and the
washing is done and i should be real tired[2hours work], but doesnt
understand if i spend a full day at the pc that i would be tired.

and ummmm

Spouce thinks cause i work from home i can do everything at home as well and
i have been doing nothing all day because i didnt pack the dishwasher.

and ummm

Spouce/children think i can be interupted with meaningless stuff because i
am at home.

I wish i had enough money for an office ,but i only have a tiny house
without an office/spare room.....i am considering headphones now with noise
cancelling technology.... any ideas? i dont want to move to a bigger house ,
or travel to another place to work. :O(
