    Today I decided to give myself an office with a view. I think I'm going to make this a regular thing for me.

    I'm going to build a legit desk and something to give me some shade.

    Anyone on here done something like this and want to share ideas? Either way I'll be sure to share what I come up with.

    Cheers!PANO_20190612_075039.vr.jpg 00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190612073645670_COVER.jpg

    haha that's pretty cool. Great view. I've done work on my laptop some from my passenger seat, but nothing with a view like this. I'm curious to see what you come up with.

    Dam man this is a really great idea. If you spend a lot of time infront of a desk and your work is able to be done mobile, there's no reason not to do this.

    Off to buy a laptop

    Correct! Mt. Hood from the north. :) It's a terrible 15min commute.

    I use an Ipad pro strictly for most mobile work especially for battery life but theres nothing like a true desktop/laptop productivity.

    Main challenge for me has been keeping good connectivity while getting remote.

    I work remotely and use a weBoost cell signal booster. It doesn't work when you're really out there, but it has allowed me to work in a lot of places I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

    Jealous of your easy access to Hood

    It seems to me that working from home would not be as productive. Actually, this is just my guess, as I was completely unable to concentrate in the home environment. My feelings were mixed. At first I was even a little excited. Like, how cool: I woke up, had breakfast - and sat down at the laptop to work immediately. But all around reigned alarming atmosphere. It seemed that even a little and I will begin a long depression and I do not want to continue their favorite thing. Probably everyone has faced such a thing during the quarantine that enveloped the whole world. When the measures against the virus were relaxed I immediately started looking for an office to work in. I was able to find a serviced office singapore and not spend a lot of money on it. And you know, I spend at least five days a week 5-6 hours in the office. This is my conscious choice, which clearly pleases me. I know for sure, it is possible to find a place where both tasks will be interesting and working conditions will be decent.
