So long, work-from-home Fridays

Last week I made a decision that I can only describe as “adult”: I gave up my work-from-home Fridays. Though I loved having one day a week where I could sit in front of my home computer sipping coffee all day, it’s been pretty clear for a while now that I am not very productive on those days. I seem to do best when I have a mixture of office work and freelance work: it’s much easier for me to work at the office for five hours a day and then come home and do a few hours of freelancing than it is to sit at home all day and try to be productive for a solid eight hours.

New creative endeavors

I have reached a point where I am struggling with what to do with this blog. I have been thinking that maybe I will start feeling motivated to blog more now that the wedding has passed, but I’m not sure if that’s really true. Even with its redesign, my blog isn’t exciting me the way it used to. For a while there, it was my main creative outlet, and I loved thinking of new things to write about. All those topics that I was exploring — natural living, authenticity, etc. — are still important to me, but not at the forefront of my mind any more.

Employment prospects

It’s been a while since I reported on my employment situation. For a few months now, I have been working part-time while continuing to plug away at freelancing. I’ve had some clients come and go and still haven’t quite settled into a routine. It doesn’t help that my work load at the part-time job is rather sporadic and that the job itself is still technically temporary. It all leaves me feeling kind of up in the air: not quite freelancing, not quite employed. I am trying to just stay in the moment and work with it and not worry about it too much.

Productivity and Prospects

I was feeling cooped up in the house this afternoon, so I decided to escape to Starbucks. My last attempt to write in a coffee shop wasn’t very successful (you can read about it here), but what’s the fun of freelancing if you can’t change up your surroundings every once in a while? Besides, it’s way too nice of a day to be stuck inside. I’m on the patio, where the music is at a much more practical volume and the sounds of passing cars are surprisingly easy to tune out.
