did you work at your house or office?
 

i just bought a new office where i live

i plan to increase the productivity of my business that way

have you made this change? was it good?

i would like to know with people that had the exactly same experience

i have been working at home for the last 5 years

No need for a separate building (at least now:)
Plenty room in my "home office".

oops.. title error

"do you work..."

sorry the typo/error

I currently work out of my home. For a few years, we rented a pretty nice office space, but we found that it was unnecessary and that we are more productive at home.

i work in the dark vile abyss that is my bedroom

i work from my couch...occasionally i get up and go to my desk for something

but my couch is usually where I am at

I rent an office near my school, this way when i'm out of the house i'm all biz, helps as my employees still go to school and don't have cars, we schedule work with school time.
80% of the work they do is at the office.

For me it's about 40% as I work a bit more when i'm home

i find that productivity and efficiency depend only on your behavioral patterns and work ethic. if your work ethic is there then you can work in the shittiest cheapest hole in the wallyou can find and accomplish just as much as you would at an office. however, mine isnt quite there with studying so i prefer the library....


hmm is academics and school talk allowed on this board?

that's just like i want it to be

no school though, people that work for me either are already graduated and/or dont study anymore

both

office tends to be more productive...

It's especially useful when mid-terms and finals start arriving, the employees are also busy as hell, so everyone takes time off til after the exams, no hassle of mixing work and school when it gets too hot.

The office is also practical when it comes to doing team assignements as well, as most good internet spots at schools are taken all the time

so do you have a lot of interns or temps?

Definitely more productive in the office.

I work out of my studio apartment that I live in with my girlfriend... *sigh*

I almost never go to the office. I haven't been there since early December actually. I get more work done from home most of the times, but I do plan on getting back to the office routine soon.

well obviously we work from the office...
but id love to experience working at home :)

to see & monitor my daughter most of the time

No interns, only 2 temp employees for now, but they're in the process of being trained so they know how to create their own projects and I don't always have to tell them what to do. I want them to then get people under them to take on bigger projects. They get an hourly wage plus a participation in the business' income.

do you have any employees btw? no point buying an office without them..

what type of business do you run? design?

Just affiliate marketing, mostly SEO but we're looking at other stuff as well, there's so much money to be made out there

Yes. But even if I didn't, it's still a good idea sometimes to work from an office.. especially if your gf/wife makes you her errands bitch "just because you're home all day". :1orglaugh :1orglaugh When you work from home you need LOTS of self-discipline :)

There's no money online. The internet is just a fad :thumbsup

I work from my basement office :)

i couldnt agree more :thumbsup

office... less distractions...

at home for over 14 yrs now and i like it :thumbsup

My office is part of my home :)

at home.

office. way more productive

Im starting to consider an office , no one leaves me the fuck alone at home :P

i have an office in my home :glugglug

First home, then I got tired of running around in my underpants all day long,
so got me an office!

Home and studio for shooting...

The Home Office, and then wherever there's wireless and my laptop becomes the mobile office, just make it a point to resize pictures in the back of Starbucks. :1orglaugh

wherever the wifi takes me

we had been working in the home for about 4 years. we recently (about 2 months ago) got an office and bought a new home. so now we commute everyday. we had heard that having an office and separating would make us more productive. i must say that it has. i don't have too much experience at it yet, but so far its working out great.

at home, but now with a gf i think an office would help alot

home/office

I work at home, get out of bed take a shower and turn on my monitor.

I'm working in my home office :)

both :)haha

I am moving to Kentucky where I plan on opening an office.

Have office,but i much more like to work from home office:)

I can't stand my home office. I'm so much more productive in my office 5 minutes away, because I want to finish my work, go home, watch the lakers and kobe miss a dunk, with no pressure.

I'm working in my office home :winkwink:


I'm a really work-oriented person currently so it has just turned out that way.
It took some getting used to (having work that "present" most of the time) but it's all good now.
Wouldn't move it out to an office until there's a need for a hiring a couple of part-timers.

I also don't have a marriage to "nurture" so I'm free from naggings, pressure and threats like
"Stop working so much or I'll divorce!! :mad: " :thumbsup

I'm free, with all my efforts & time, to reach the primary goals I've set.. and
to deal with other parts of life a bit later.

I'm determined, I plan & execute.. and my choices are the right ones for me.. :Graucho

at home, baby! :winkwink: :thumbsup
