I find the more I work at home the more.. I hate to leaving the house. I am not sure if this is happening to others, but there is something to be said for not going through the hassle. I have been home working for over 5 years (6 if you count the year I was off) on my superhero cape business . I find that I hate to food shopping and don’t want to spend money clothing shopping (since my husband lost his job last June so.) I tend to really try to be efficient leave the house multi task. 6 stops one trip because every time I leave that is 6 hours …gone POOF. Then I feel like it was a waste of a day and I did not accomplish much. So I guess I am a workaholic …which anyone who knows me says I am. I spend time out of the house for the kid, husband, church, and events.
Most of my friends have gone back to work, kids are in school, and everybody is busy including myself. So I don’t make time for lunches with friends, or shopping excursions (I was never a big shopper for myself). Most people would say I am a social person and out going but during the weekdays not so much.
So here I sit comfy in my chair shopping from my computer and talking on the phone and working. The thing is i don’t mind not one bit. I think I am comfortable and happy, and isn’t that the point.
I am becoming a work at home hermit, so are you in your shell like me?
Oh hello. You just described my life. Except for once, I’m OUT OF THE HOUSE! But I’m sitting quietly at Starbucks with my computer. All by myself. And it’s heaven.
My Hubby tells me all the time I am becoming a hermit. I don’t get out of the house much at all. To go without him is even more rare. I’d like to sew up enough stuff to be able to start doing local craft shows. I’d also like to find away to get involved with some of the blogging activities. Getting started is the hard part.
Omigosh, YES. I started working from home about a year and a half ago…and I really hate to leave the house during the day. My kids are in school, so those precious, quiet hours are my most productive. I’ve made my husband take over the food shopping, and every other kind can be done online.
Oh, and I really like it, too…. ; ) – Jenny
I think (not sure) it may become a habit. And the fact that we enjoy it makes it an easy habit to have. I am the same way and in the same boat!
I’ve been working on my business concept, going to trainings, getting my business started, and I cannot wait until the school year starts so I have a whole 16-18 hours a week to just sit in front of my computer working on my business!! 🙂 I have to agree with Fadra & Jenny in that I love my quiet time, but I also enjoy getting out and spending time with my friends; it keeps me feeling connected to the outside world……..even if they aren’t entrepreneurial like myself, have no clue as to what I’m doing, and are far from relating. 🙂
