Working from anywhere

This week I learned that there’s a difference between being technically able to work from anywhere and being mentally able to do so. Camping with my teenage daughter, I found that, although I had the computer, electricity and an internet connection, I could not get myself into the focused mindframe that I need for editing or any other business-related activity. Even when I found myself with a few spare hours, I couldn’t get out of holiday mode and into work mode, so I spent the time reading detective novels rather than working. I guess this experience shows that I really needed a holiday!
