Freelance designer working from home seeks splash of color

how to work from homefter working in an office all my life, it has taken some time to get used to working from home. At first I struggled a lot with filtering out distractions (dishes, two cats who constantly want to sit on my lap at the same time, Facebook), but recently I have gotten better at minimizing distractions and getting down to it.

friday flowers: floral arrangements for the freelance designer

The first trick was getting a good coffee maker at home (caffeine is essential) and the second is keeping good task lists. I am an obsessive list maker and respond really well to checking off outstanding items. I also got in the habit of buying myself some flowers every week. I pick them up from Trader Joe’s on Monday and spend some time figuring out what kind of arrangement I want to make. For some reason, it has become a ritual I really look forward to — a sort of creative kick start that I get to enjoy all week.

Happy Friday!

    I highly recommend a french press, and the mocha java coffee from Whole Foods. Very yum!
