It has been almost a week now since I moved my office home and I’ve been slammed with work so I thought it might be good to write a few things that I’ve noticed this far.

1. I work just as efficiently in my home office as I did in my old office. I was discussing this with my wife and I think this is partially because I worked so independently while I was in the shared office, and partly because she is home about to give birth in a few weeks — I’m motivated to keep working and bringing in a decent income when she is around.
2. I work non-standard hours. I used to work from 8-5 at the office, but at home I get up and start working at 6am, work until 8:30, have breakfast and a shower, work until lunch, take a break for an hour, work until 4pm. Its a bit more of a split up day, but I like the flexibility. I’ve also been putting in time in the evenings, but only because I have a big deadline this week.
3. I eat better. My office was in a location that had a lot of options for lunch. When I’m working from home I can spend a bit of extra time to make a healthy meal instead of eating out or eating a bag lunch. Even though I used to bring my lunch 3 out of 5 days a week, the lunches I make at home are still better and fresher.
