I finally have a beautiful desk (first new one I've ever had!) that I got a few months ago. I finished off my little non-office with a cool bookshelf & I have everything arranged just so. Now, if only those distractions could so easily be put in their places . . .Bethany LaShellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790803944431508495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168721931988700167.post-79772879464343487152010-09-13T07:44:34.346-04:002010-09-13T07:44:34.346-04:00I used to need total silence and a big block of ti...I used to need total silence and a big block of time to devote to a project, but it never worked for me. There never was a big block of time and as a homeschool mom, there never was total silence or a "normal" schedule even to plan out a segment of uninterrupted time. When I learned to run back and forth between activities (homeschooling, housework, away from home activities) I began to be more productive. I slowly learned how to focus in chaos and how to get things done in short periods of time. Since my hands are failing me, I can no longer write with pen and paper for any length of time. My ability to utilize the hour or two I'm at my son's PE Day in the park or his Performing Arts class is limited to writing notes on a purple notebook. I'm actually looking at getting a small, purple lap top in order to take advantage of more of that time. So I guess my writing cave is wherever I happen to be. Whatever it is and wherever I am, I know one thing. My writing cave is PURPLE. ;DJoJo Tabareshttp://www.artofeloquence.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
