Work from home

I like being at home. I believe home is one of the most important spaces for creating work, and one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Home gives me and Kate privacy, emotional stability, and rhythm in life. Most importantly, it gives me a strong morning routine. I’m grateful that the world has reached a point where many of us can work from anywhere—and of course, my choice is home.

Right now, I’m writing this from a hotel in San Francisco, with Kate here in the room. Whenever we travel, our private space disappears because we’re together all the time, and I have to compromise my morning routine. I’ve noticed clearly that the amount I read correlates directly with the quality of my writing. My ability to focus also decreases when I don’t practise consistently. And naturally, I run less while travelling, since I save my energy for walking.

Still, I’m happy seeing Kate enjoy each day of travel. I feel that our journeys together are plotting new dots that will someday connect with others. We’re creating good memories together. And I know I’m learning something—though I don’t yet know what it is. I’m excited to bring these new experiences back home and turn them into creative work.
