I have the same problem with freaking out over the sound of a pencil writing on paper. I am glad to know that when I held my ground against those would call me weird, I was right. Two of us make it not weird. Great blog, too.

Hi Jay,

I was delighted to see your post regarding your “non-home office”. I would suggest that what you have is what we call “The Anywhere Office” (maybe that word is more to your liking)! We define that as the ability to work where and when you want – sure sounds like your working fits that bill.

I agree with your comments about the balance issue for self-employed professionals. I like to refer to this as “work life integration” rather than balance because the two are so entertwined. In fact I came a cross a great passage from a Zen Buddhist text that I think really sums up this point:

MASTER THE ART OF LIVING

The person who is a master in the art of living makes little
distinction between their work and their play,
their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body,
their education and their recreation,
their love and their religion.

They hardly know which is which.
They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do
leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing

To them, they are always doing both.

If you get a chance check out our blog and podcast at http://www.theanywhereoffice.com where we talk all about this type of flexible working. It think you would really enjoy it – an long live The Anywhere Office!
