We have all been there, the alarm going off at six in the morning, groggily making a strong cup of coffee to help survive the morning commute. Desperately trying to make it into the office on time, we have little time to relax, or prepare mentally for the day. This is where the benefits of a garden office start to shine through, a nice easy start to the day, a relaxed cup of coffee and easy stroll into the garden office, which is fully equipped with separate telephone line and internet connection. This is a stark contrast to that of the commuter rushing through breakfast and sitting in traffic, and then needing to go through the whole process on their return from work only to be completely exhausted by the time they get back through the front door.
A garden office takes away the burden of commuting to work, renting an office space and cleaner, filling the car constantly with petrol or finding those spare coins for public transport. However most importantly it is the start of more family time, relaxed mornings and easy evenings with only limited work worries. Where else can you go to work in slippers and still have a productive day? A garden office gives you the freedom to integrate your work with your life, instead of your work dictating your life.
Working within the backdrop of your garden is an inspiring place to be. Just because you are working from home, you do not have the distractions which are abundant if you are working in a spare bedroom or the dining room. You are in a separate building, an entirely different space in which only work can be done. The decision to build a garden office saves you money from petrol, transport and renting, but more importantly it saves you the time to spend with family. Working from home, sometimes brings about connotations of low effort, long lunch breaks on the sofa in front of the television and little time spent at the desk, however a garden office not only removes the stresses of commuting but also the distractions of having an office with the television on the other side of a wall. You are secluded from your home, and left in an area where the primary purpose is to work and not a spare bedroom.
A garden office signals the end to an early morning commute and a late night arrival at home, missing any important family things to happen while you were stuck in traffic or waiting for that next connection. The stresses that come from commuting to and from work often leave you feeling weary and annoyed at the time you spend away from your family. You may be left resenting your work, and how much it affects your family life, a home office will give some of your personal life back to you, as well as benefiting your business. A garden office is your secluded work area, where you have no distractions just your own personal space to get the job done.
