To close for comfort

To close for comfort.

That's what my house is feeling like.

The mental part of cabin fever is not an issue for me. It's the physical part.Since we did the work on the family room, my workspace has been reduced to a 4' by 5' area.

Normally it's fine,given that I don't spend as much time behind a desk as I once did.

However, during this quarantine, I find myself sitting back here for much longer stretches.

Another factor is that normally when I am at my desk or working from g=home, there is no one else here.

My space is usually mine. No noise. No interruptions. No "din".

The longer this quarantine goes on, the more background noises compound on each other. The furnace,the bird, the music,all seem to be increasing in volume creating a cacophony on the sense of hearing.

Add a couple of barking dogs,feet on the staircase, telephone conversations others are having and the level of distraction can be maddening!

The inclement weather we have had for the last 48 hours certainly is not helping. Outside is cold,wet and dank, a far cry from Friday afternoon when I actually fell asleep sitting in the sun (yes I did get that first burn of the year glow!).

Interestingly enough, my daily message from Darren Hardy addressed the issue of Spring cleaning your workspace.

Even before listening to his audio message, I had spent the morning cleaning my work area, filing, tossing out a whole bunch of unnecessary paper work and mail and reorganizing draws and file boxes.

I have also made the bold decision to expand my work space.

I am going to move my desk forward into the room by 6".

I know,crazy huh!

What a wild man!

Cabin fever?

Maybe just a little bit!

Shavua Tov!
