More focused living

Ahhh... What a difference a geographic change can make sometimes. Not so much as where you are - but the actual space around you.

I recently moved the offices around at work. I gave my boss the smaller, darker office - since he likes the feeling of being tucked away and seems more focused on his work that way. I moved myself into what was his office because I often hold meetings in my office and it gave me much more space for this. The wall of windows doesn't hurt either. All of a sudden I actually look forward to going to the office. We also took over the ware house in the back - and now all the clutter we'd been tripping over has a new home. Overall it all feels so much more open and airy - and we can all breathe better.

I also moved into a new home - with just my kiddo and our 2 cats. We opted not to have cable T.V. hooked up (saved money) and stuck with just our high speed internet. That means if we need to be entertained our options are to get out and be social, read a book, listen to the radio, play online or watch a movie on the dvd player. Still a lot of options!

The layout is good to. I decided to make a room downstairs into a movie room - so if you want to watch a movie - it's a conscious effort - and there are not a lot of distractions - so you actually WATCH the movie.

The office is upstairs - away from the T.V. screen - away from the main living area. Peace... quiet... FOCUS! It's sweet!

Each room has a purpose and I just feel this sense of calming down, getting quieter, being more focused.
