In this episode, we discuss what our work environments look like, and some of the features of our work spaces. Katie’s got a podcast closet, Sara’s got five windows. Katie loves her whiteboards, and Sara’s bookcase is peppered with nerdy knickknacks. Sara talks about relying on co-working at coffee shops to help her get social interaction time, whereas Katie uses coffee shops specifically only for editing manuscripts. We share our strategies for tackling unstructured time. We also talk about the elusive work/life balance, and how we try to keep ourselves healthy while also getting the work done.

We answer:

• How do we set up our work environments?
• What could be improved in our home work spaces?
• How easy is it for us to get into flow states in our home offices?
• Do we ever work from coffee shops or other locations?
• How do we handle unstructured time?
• How is our work/life balance?

Next time on AcademiGig: We talk about outsourcing; how and when to do it, and figuring out when it’s time to ask for help.
