My wife is a fan of the Shopaholic series of books and one of her favourite moments is when the heroine decides she’s going to get control of her over-spending. She decides that she’s going to write all of her spending down in a notebook and analyze where everything goes. In order to do that, she goes out and buys a fancy new notebook and a beautiful, and very expensive, pen – thus going further into debt. We had to giggle when we talked about building my office because we were spending what seemed like a ton of money in order to make the money back – to pay for the office!

Well, after only a few days nights in the new space I can already see that it’s going to be great.  The lighting, the tunes, the white board, the dual monitor, the filing cabinets.  I finally have a place to work – and my wife has her dining room table back.

I read it somewhere relating to studying but you really do have to have a space set aside specifically for working.  Doing any kind of job in an inappropriate environment just leads to sub-par results…

Here’s to awesome results, CHEERS!
