Working from home - where’s the downside?
Seriously folks, I worked from home today, and I:
- Got more done (way more) that I would in the office
- Was more relaxed
- Had time to go for a run
- Managed to run the same presentations and meetings
- Ate way healthier food than I normally do
I also worked longer and took fewer breaks. I know it’s not exactly rocket science, and everyone is telecommuting these days, but seriously, this is the first time i really hit me that I actually not only concentrate better at home, but actually get more done.
And I have time to read more internet-ey things: Gawker, Youtube (great Obama clip), and BlogTO (a little bit of sxsw-style action in Toronto?), just to name a few.

Luke,
Sent you an email - see below. What are you doing now? Ray
I don’t know if I mentioned it to you at NECC, but I got to spend the month of July living and working back in India where I was a Peace Corps Volunteer over forty years ago. The town is named Hubli-Dharwad, located in Karnataka State in southern India. Here’s a link to some pictures I took while there: http://picasaweb.google.com/raymondmyers/HubliDharwadRevisited2008#
Please don’t feel obligated to look at them all, but I think you might find some of them interesting.
I also have done some writing about my going back there (some official, another more of a personal opinion piece). I sent the opinion piece to the Panorama online magazine that’s part of TIG. If interested, I can send you a copy as well.
