so you want an office to "escape" your family and daily life? It's sad but I would bet that's the case for a significant amount of parents and husbands.

- alarge 6y agoYou've already been voted down, so not sure how much I'd add to this, but... Wanting to have an office outside the home doesn't mean you are trying to escape - it means you are trying to establish the conditions for maximizing your productivity. Where you can work uninterrupted for long stretches of time - and even when you are interrupted, it is likely less of a context switch than the various daily interactions, temptations, and chores that happen while at home. On a tangential note - my major complaint about the currently popular "open office plan" setup is that it has flipped the productivity curve for me. I go into the office for all the team interactions. When I need to get work done, I work from home (and hope for a day of minimal interruptions).
