I love working from home! And I know this goes against all the rules, but I work at my kitchen table. I don’t have very much natural light in my office, so it feels dreary in there. I much prefer the bright sunlight and proximity to my coffee maker in the kitchen — and I’m all alone during the day, so there aren’t any distractions.

In reply to John Soares. even when I'm in the shade, there still a good amount of glare. Perhaps is the type of screen I have, I don't know.I'm researching glare guards so if anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks for your response.

In reply to Sunny. I deal with it by only writing in the shade.

you mentioned going on your deck with your laptop. I love to work outside more often (especially by the water since I live in the keys) but the glare on my computer is too much. How do you deal with glare?

I`m a home bird, so write best when I’m at home but your post has inspired me to branch out a bit. I like the idea of going to a park and setting up the laptop on a picnic table…How do you stop the glare on the screen though?

John, thanks for sharing your most productive freelance locations. To me, I’m always stuck to my working table most of the time. Occasionally I go to my bedroom, shut the door and if I have to do some serious writing that is time sensitive.

I always have internet connection though, I have never tried working without the internet coz I find it handy to do my research or reference while my writing is half way. However I use Focus Writer app to stay focused!

In reply to Michael. Michael, I actually do best outdoors when I go camping by myself. I get plenty of writing done, and then I reward myself by doing tai chi and then taking a long hike in the afternoon. And I'll look into pu'er tea. I recently switched to drinking tea in the afternoons instead of coffee.
