Good morning, This 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: is Laura Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: where we share strategies for thriving in the new world 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: of work, where location and hours are more flexible than 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: in the past. Today's tip is to have a go 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: to second workspace. When you're working from home. You don't 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: have to stay in your own version of a cubicle, 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: and sometimes you shouldn't. Moving around can put you in 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: a different frame of mind. I've worked in my home 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: office for years, and I like to think I'm pretty efficient, 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: but sometimes I need to do different sorts of projects. 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: When I was working on the manuscript for a novel 32 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: called The Courtland Boys a few years ago, I started 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: driving over to my local library and working there. It 34 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: was generally pretty quiet, and the space felt different. When 35 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I surrounded myself with other people's novels, it was somehow 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: easier to convince my brain that it was time to 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: write fiction. Libraries are great. Coffee shops can serve the 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: same secondary space function, as can a restaurant during off 39 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: peak hours, as long as you ordered enough to make 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: your table profitable. Of course, as I'm writing this, many 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: coffee shops, libraries, and restaurants are still closed to promote 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: social distancing, But even if you're sheltering in place, you 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: might be able to generate a second workspace in your home. 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: If you normally work at the kitchen table, try sitting 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: on the sofa for a while. If you normally work 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: in the guest room, take your laptop out to the 47 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: back porch to coax out some different thoughts. I have 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: a dedicated home office with a desk guest as my husband, 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: but we both have reading chairs wedged into the corners 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: of our offices so we can hang out in our 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: secondary workspaces. Within our workspaces, I find it easier to 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: focus on reading for work when I'm not sitting in 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: the place where I return emails. Plus the backdrop is 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: nicer for video calls. I know that some people are 55 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: sharing small homes with lots of people right now. Even 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: finding a primary workspace with the door might be tough. 57 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: In times of crisis, we do what we can, But 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: if you think you'll be working at home for a while, 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: it's smart to think about reworking space to support your goals. 60 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you're working in a closet right now for privacy, 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: but you could think of the kitchen as a coworking 62 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: space where your fellow workers just happened to be kids 63 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: doing their homework. If you and a spouse or roommate 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: are both working from home, maybe you just switch spots 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: on occasion when you're both feeling stuck, or get a 66 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: little chair for your yard, the front stoop or apartment balcony. 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be elaborate, but it helps to 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: have some options. So survey your surroundings and figure out 69 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: what could function as your secondary work space. Soon, I 70 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: hope we'll have lots of options. By getting into the 71 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: practice of shifting when you're stuck can help train your 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: brain to make breakthroughs in the meantime.
