To Office or Not?

I've got an office. It's upstairs in a little room off my bedroom. It's far away from everything and would be the perfect place to lock myself away and hear nothing. But I've never written in there. Actually, I never go in there.

We bought this house a little over a year ago. The little room off the master I thought was perfect. I sometimes think if I didn't have to drag my laptop up the stairs to work and then back down when I mindlessly stare at facebook, I might use it.

Over the weekend, the husband and I rearranged the living room. I have a laptop cart I work on and it has to be positioned a certain way to make it really usuable. Well, this new set-up, I've got no where to write in there.  So...

I set myself up in the formal dining room. I'm still around everyone. Can hear the kids and such. I'm right here if anyone needs me. But with having the TV away, and even not having to see the kids (I can hear them), I get so much more done! I spend less time mindlessly staring at facebook because when I sit down here away from everyone, it's work time. 

While I hate the new living room arrangement at the moment (this is all for the new TV soon), I think I'll stay set up here. A lot less distractions, and work time feels more like work time and not play time.

Anything to be more productive...
