Hmmm, between Mayo Connect and Master Gardener activities, I guess I work from home (except there is no paycheck.) This is not new to me - for 20 years I was an intermittent home worker, but then I had a dedicated space. To complicate matters now, I live 6 months of the year in a tiny house, with my only table right inside a patio door where my presence is obvious to all my (retired) friends passing by. And I sit next to my spouse, who is surfing and commenting... I have taken to putting in headphones, sometimes connected to a conference call, sometimes John's elevator music, and sometimes dead air. It is my signal to think twice before interrupting and it works.
On the other end of the spectrum, I am guilty of not stopping at times. With the abundance of message right now, I have capped my on-line time at 4 hours, then the machine goes off unless I am studying Spanish. This is my sanity-saver. My computer is such a symbol of work to me that I don't use it for reading - I turn to old fashioned books.

How great that you are studying Spanish on the computer, @sueinmn. Do you mind if I ask what software you are using?
