    anyone enjoy working offline a couple of hours each day

    i have a daily routine where after doing email in the morning (as long as there is no major issues to deal with), i always go out to a coffee shop and work for 2.5-3 hours on my laptop. uninterupted, offline work time is a good thing.

    anyone else do something similar?

              another way to accomplish the type of 'offline' that you're referring to, I could do with merely leaving off GFY and any IM devices and just work...

              I'm most productive when I do that...

                  I always get all panicky if I'm on a laptop that isn't online... It's like sitting in the car listening to the radio, but not driving.

                          i'm online almost my entire waking life, so i find 3 hours or so of daily work offline very heathly, business-wise.

                          breaks up the routine quite a bit too...

                              I like to do work that isn't on a computer sometimes just to get a break from staring at the screen. Makes me feel a lot better too.

                                  No, because there isn't a place in damn town that has wireless.

                                                  i used to do that all that all time time, pretty much fallen out of the habit these days though.

It's not working, per se, but it gets me in a place of mind where I can face sitting in front of the computer for the rest of the day without wishing the ENTIRE time I was outside.

                                                                  After dinner I also like to have a glass of wine or frufru mixed drink in the same spots to unwind - again before I hit the internet for a few more hours of unrelentless surfing.

Come back totally refreshed and rejuvenated.

                                                                                                                                          anyone else do something similar?
                                                                                                                                          I server you the coffee at that coffee shop.

Just buy some newspapers, grab some coffee, read and relax.

                                                                                                                                                              No phones ringing. No IM's and e-mails beeping in. Just peace and quiet.

                                                                                                                                                              Sometimes I'll take a notepad with me to write down ideas.

                                                                                                                                                              I usually get to the beach a couple times each week also just to get my soul's energy into balanced harmony again with the earth's. Come back totally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Sometimes I take a nice long nap. I wasn't feeling well earlier (around 10:30 pm) so I went to lie down. I woke up 5 hours later.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I don't take time offline to work. I can't stand working and not being connected to the net. I do like the idea of taking laptop to a wireless-enabled cafe though, provided I can get a good seat.

I keep this job because it makes me have to spend at least 15 hours a week doing something that is not online. Helps keep me sane.
