25 Jan 2010 Out of Office

I’ve been thinking lately of dedicating one day of my work week to doing fun or personal projects. Instead of sitting in my office, I could hop on over to the coffee shop, invite another freelancer over to my office, or simply take my laptop to the park.

Two of my editors have offered me an office space in their buildings, an offer that I haven’t yet taken them up on, but just might. And on occasions when I’m feeling very isolated, I have in the past gone to a friend’s office, sat among the other journalists there, and become part of the furniture.

I think I’m going to start doing all of those more regularly. One get-out-of-the-office day per week. I like that.
