Some people I know avoid working in their home office for different reasons. Their office may be a wreck, the lighting is awful or they feel too isolated. Whatever the case, they’re working naked, but not in their home office.

You can work anywhere when you're working naked.

I love my home office. It’s comfortable, stylish, and of course, functional. Normally I enjoy sitting down at my large, L-shape desk—some people enjoy jewelry but office furniture really does it for me—but last week everything changed. I was burned out, sick of my home office and desperately in need of a change of scenery.

So throughout the week—thanks to my wireless Internet connection—I worked on my front porch, in my family room, and at my dining room table. Most of my work didn’t involve paper so it was easy to move from room to room and outside without worrying about losing anything.

This goes against the advice I’ve given for years: work in one place to make it easier to keep track of paper and other information. But after spending a week away from my home office and realizing it wasn’t affecting my productivity, I’ve changed my mind. There’s nothing wrong with working naked somewhere other than in your home office every now and then.

This week I’m back to working in my home office but I may shake things up later on in the week and ditch my desk for my deck.

Never a dull moment when you’re working naked.
