I have a seperate room just for work. I found neediing an office was when i was a headhunter cold calling isn fun and when you have bang out 100 of them a day. Being in place where you cant go fuck off helps dramatically. If i had kids i would get a seperate office.

Nice problem to have! Decisions, decisions.Comment

I second Yanks' recommendation for Regus. While I would probably never rent a full-time office outside of the home any more, having periodic short-term places to work when I'm traveling is a big boon, and most of Regus' centers are top-notch.
It also can't hurt to just move around a bit -- coffee shops, libraries, hotels, malls, etc. Just go out for a few hours and work somewhere else. Distractions are going to be everywhere, including an office.

You know what I do, I go either to my girlfriends house, or go to Starbucks with my laptop.
I get an amazing amount of work done at Starbucks. Sometimes for the cost of a coffee or muffin, I get 4 hours of completely undistracted work done with only a few ogles at the girls. I even would do this when I was working in Hollywood, and there are plenty of distractions there...Comment

Getting an office/desk space is the best thing you can do. it separates business from your personal life and helps you focus on each of those things fully when needed. I am a big believer in renting office space.Comment

I got an office earlier this year, best thing I have done. Why not try it out for 6 months and see if you like it? It is all a tax write off anyway.

Depends on what you need really... If you are a 1 man operation than maybe you're fine in a home office. I was fine in a home office until i started having kids and such and then i needed a seperation between my home and work life. Not fun having a conference call with a big company and then one of your kids runs in and tells you that you just ran out of toilet paper LOL!
I know lots of people that love to work from home and it works for them but i find for myself being in an office is much more productive for me. Plus having the ability to walk into the next office and talk to a colleague is a lot more personal than an IM conversationComment

Home office is the best ... no commute .. and the coffee is all yours.
You have to maintain a working schedule. For me - I am online at 7am and go to about 6pm each day. My laptops / smartphone is always around for calls / emails that are important post hours.
I take 30 mins for lunch .. and no TV in the office. This works for me as I can get everything done.
also you have to have a dedicated office in the house. I have a back bedroom that is my space for work only. On "non work hours" I have a LAN set up in the house in another room so I do get some "out of the office" time.Comment

Seems crazy to me that anyone goes to get work done in public at a Starbucks, especially porn related work.Comment
