WEBVTT - The New Corner Office: Have a go-to second workspace

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm slaw from Progressive. Being a baseball fanatic like

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.319
<v Speaker 1>me can be stressful. It's not all sports points and touchdowns,

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>So Progressive is going to help you take your mind

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>off your team for a moment. Instead of thinking about

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.239
<v Speaker 1>how they missed that gold points score, think about the

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>name your Price tool from Progressive, letting you choose coverage

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>options based on your budget, unlike your team that missed

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the end zone net area. Well, anyway, hope this distraction

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>about Progressives Name your Price Toool is helpful. It sure

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>kept me from thinking about all those penalty balls sports,

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Progressive Cansualty in Terance Company, and acti's prison coverage contial

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and the diviceing law. Look for your children's eyes and

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you will discover the true magic of a forest. Find

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>a forest near you and start exploring it. Discover the

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>forest dot Org brought to you by the United States

<v Speaker 1>Forest Service and the AD Council. What girls in the forest,

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>our imagination and our family bonds. The forest is closer

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>than you think. Find a forest near you and discover

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the fourth dot Org brought to you by the United

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>States Force Service and the AD Council. Good morning, This

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>is Laura Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>where we share strategies for thriving in the new world

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of work, where location and hours are more flexible than

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>in the past. Today's tip is to have a go

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to second workspace. When you're working from home. You don't

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>have to stay in your own version of a cubicle,

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes you shouldn't. Moving around can put you in

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a different frame of mind. I've worked in my home

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>office for years, and I like to think I'm pretty efficient,

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes I need to do different sorts of projects.

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>When I was working on the manuscript for a novel

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>called The Courtland Boys a few years ago, I started

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>driving over to my local library and working there. It

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>was generally pretty quiet, and the space felt different. When

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I surrounded myself with other people's novels, it was somehow

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>easier to convince my brain that it was time to

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>write fiction. Libraries are great. Coffee shops can serve the

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 1>same secondary space function, as can a restaurant during off

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>peak hours, as long as you ordered enough to make

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>your table profitable. Of course, as I'm writing this, many

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>coffee shops, libraries, and restaurants are still closed to promote

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>social distancing, But even if you're sheltering in place, you

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>might be able to generate a second workspace in your home.

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>If you normally work at the kitchen table, try sitting

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on the sofa for a while. If you normally work

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>in the guest room, take your laptop out to the

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>back porch to coax out some different thoughts. I have

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a dedicated home office with a desk guest as my husband,

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>but we both have reading chairs wedged into the corners

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of our offices so we can hang out in our

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>secondary workspaces. Within our workspaces, I find it easier to

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>focus on reading for work when I'm not sitting in

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>the place where I return emails. Plus the backdrop is

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>nicer for video calls. I know that some people are

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>sharing small homes with lots of people right now. Even

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.399
<v Speaker 1>finding a primary workspace with the door might be tough.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>In times of crisis, we do what we can, But

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>if you think you'll be working at home for a while,

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>it's smart to think about reworking space to support your goals.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're working in a closet right now for privacy,

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>but you could think of the kitchen as a coworking

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>space where your fellow workers just happened to be kids

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>doing their homework. If you and a spouse or roommate

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>are both working from home, maybe you just switch spots

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>on occasion when you're both feeling stuck, or get a

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>little chair for your yard, the front stoop or apartment balcony.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be elaborate, but it helps to

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>have some options. So survey your surroundings and figure out

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>what could function as your secondary work space. Soon, I

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>hope we'll have lots of options. By getting into the

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>practice of shifting when you're stuck can help train your

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>brain to make breakthroughs in the meantime. This is Laura,
