At first, I thought this is about photographic job and as I keep on reading this article, I found out that working online can be interesting other than sitting whole day in front of the computer. i might give it a try somewhere, someplace. I’m not sure yet how but it suppose to be a relaxing one. Thank you for the creative idea.

Thanks for the post Lynn. I live in S Florida and am always out by my pool in the sun doing my home business. Love it! But the son is hot. I have to wear alot of sun lotion.

I love getting outdoors too. Today I spent a couple of hours reading on the back deck, which was just awesome. This was my reading spot over the weekend:

And I think you saw this pic – it’s @NicoleDean and I out hiking Burgess Falls in the middle of the week:

Of course, we were non stop brainstorming ideas & resources, so I classify that as a “work day”

I love this post, Lynn! Our summers here in Vermont are short, and since I’m such a summer girl I get outside whenever I can. I will often bring the laptop outside with me, but it’s better to unplug and get my thoughts together. I’ve gotten into the habit of putting podcasts on my ipod so I can listen while I go for a walk (or run if I’m so inspired).

You are so full of inspiration for me this week – your timing is so amazing. THANK YOU!

Breaks are necessary for productivity – so enjoy!

As for me, I usually make it a habit to spend nice Monday’s enjoying the sunshine on the patio… just to mock the 9-to-5 I left in 1996

My problem is that when I get outside in the good weather, getting work done becomes distant on my list of priorities.

For example, in about 30 minutes I’m heading out to do some “Monday” errands and it’ll set me up with 2 choices … go past the ocean OR past the bay. Either one will have “patios” beckoning at me to come have just ONE nice & COLD “beverage” … AND then I’m DOOMED! How can I resist that? The weather’s awesome right now! LOL

But I wouldn’t trade away the ability to be able to do this for anything else. I’m certainly very fortunate to be around like-minded people such as Lynn and others I’ve gotten to know in the online community, here at SSWT and elsewhere.

All I can say is … Take time out to relax every now and then!

Cheers!

Great post, Lynn. It is so important to enjoy yourself and live in the day. Once I get going at my desk, I often find I am there all day and before I know it the day is done. Not quite warm enough in Ohio to work on the deck (yet) but I will definitely try out your “making money in your bikini” soon

You guys have some great ideas – Thanks for sharing! I agree with the audio-on-the-go and the pen & paper. Both are great trade-ins when you get tired of (or just plain bored with) sitting in front of a computer screen.

It’s a beautiful day here in Tennessee, so I am off to get some sun – err, I mean some work done. Maybe a little of both

Good ideas Lynn! I also like to run outside so I download a few podcasts so when I go out running for an hour I’m listening to podcasts some are business related, some for fun. It’s another good way to enjoy being outside and listen to some good podcasts to boot.

Your so right! I definately do not get out enough to just relax. I tend to do so more in the summer time! But it is good to get out sit under an ol’ shade tree and sip iced tea while brainstorming and writing!

Thanks for sharing this!

How right you are! Although sunbathing isn’t high on my priority list right now (I’m 6 months pregnant), being out in the sun and fresh air is. I have found it’s not best to drag my laptop out in the sunshine anyway…I can’t see a thing because of the glare. There’s a lot that can be done with a pen and paper.

Home business does have its advantages, as you said. No seeing the ugly desk, in an enclosure that is nothing more than a jail.

With a small diary, a laptop with WiFi, working while having fun is much much easier.

I try hard not to sunbathe. I have this little tendency to go from ghost to lobster, never a tan.

During winter months here in TN, I will often grab a few things from the office (notepad, favorite pen, latest copy of Revenue magazine) and treat myself to my favorite lunch in town (or even out of town!).

We do have a coffee shop with Wi Fi uptown, but when I need to get out of the office and just *write*… I prefer pen & paper.

Hey Lynn – you are so right about this. I wish more people understood how important personal wellbeing is. And varying the places where you do work is a big plus for creativity.

We should all try and fit more of the good things of life IN our life. And very often the secret is to combine work and play )

Saying that though, all this talk about sun and sunbathing doesn’t really help me. British weather is always better when viewed from indoors… hmmm.
