I am not able to use my laptop in places like bed (it makes my legs hot) or our oversized chair (when I am too comfy it's like my desire to do work goes out the window).Megan Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672065144005028628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562160905965684290.post-27010674796435086892012-03-08T21:10:49.870-05:002012-03-08T21:10:49.870-05:00Ohhh, I wish I had a garden!

I need to start carrying my laptop with me and to figure out how to jump into my WIP at a moment's notice. Any tips?Megan Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672065144005028628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562160905965684290.post-90300162495903734552012-03-08T21:06:01.628-05:002012-03-08T21:06:01.628-05:00I know, right?

I also do it on my lunch break at work. I can see a trip to the library going like yours though. I think if I had a laptop I would lock the doors to my room and work while propped up in my bed.<br /><br />My sons LOVE The Lorax book so we MUST go see the movie. Thanks for recommending it.Jenny S.

Then I inevitably make some extra changes when I change the computer document. It helps me get into a different mindset. And, when it's sunny, I rewrite in the garden!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562160905965684290.post-60891525223882504612012-03-06T10:54:08.299-05:002012-03-06T10:54:08.299-05:00I used to be a strictly couch-with-some-quiet-time...I used to be a strictly couch-with-some-quiet-time sort of person, but lately, not so much. I work everywhere. If I'm going to a lecture and I have my computer and ten extra minutes cause I got there early-out comes the laptop. Ten minutes early to pick someone up? Laptop time. <br /><br /><br />It's a war of attrition, and the only way to win is one scrap at a time (for my life right now that is). <br /><br />Oh, but that doesn't mean I don't blow hours on the internet, or still prefer the quiet couch. But squeezing in work in tiny little bits of time really gets you to focus on what's important. <br /><br />Caveat: It's hard. making your brain come into a place as vastly different as your work to your WIP in the ten minute gap that is the last scrap of lunch break ain't easy, but it's apparently really good for fighting off dementia later...Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562160905965684290.post-3016475796907690952012-03-06T10:47:02.127-05:002012-03-06T10:47:02.127-05:00I've never been very productive working in pub...I've never been very productive working in public.<br /><br />And I've also had my share of weird conversations in libraries. :)Hektor Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908146663251226473noreply@blogger.com
