An Introduction to Garden Offices and Telecommuting
Talk about the subject of telecommuting, and you’re likely to experience a heated discussion. On one side, some individuals claim that working from home is wonderful, there’s no car drive necessary, no office politics, no lost time by simply having to be in one place for a set time, no pointless group meetings, no dull chit-chat that offices are noted for. Others say they simply could not produce the self-control that’s necessary to work at home. They’d be slightly reluctant to send any clients to their home. The children, when they are on holiday, are just too much of a distraction. There’s just too many things going on in the house to even begin the day. Finally, the company office is fantastic simply because they feel an urge to escape home life.
Naysayers of home working now have something that might actually force them to reconsider their argument : garden offices. Garden studios (or garden offices) are built in your own garden, not adjoining your house. A garden studio offers a chance to work in a peaceful, free thinking surrounding, with the natural garden all around you, and a peaceful venue to conduct group meetings.
The idea that the garden studio is isolated from your household is a crucial one. It offers you a chance to break away from home life to your business. Utilizing the web and VOIP, it’s easy to obtain your own phone number just for the garden office.
Think about further plus points of a garden office:-
- The build costs for such offices are very low when you equate rental costs for office space.
- They’re environmentally friendly : the commute from house to garden studio uses only natural footprints (as opposed to carbon footprints).
- You can conduct business anytime. Creative juices don’t mechanically flow from nine to five, so if you have an idea, or just want to complete a task ahead of time, walk into the garden studio.
- It’s a comfy, well-lit, natural environment. No sick building syndrome here. No glaring light strips, grey partitions and general background-noise of typical office life.
Garden studios can recoup their costs fairly quickly, and repayments on a loan for a garden studio are often comparable, or cheaper than, office rental costs.
