I had 4 hours straight of reading/taking notes last night with zero interruptions and total focus. That just isn't possible at home with 3 kids and a dog and nobody else there to help.
Hi Salty,
I get you're enjoying this place of peace and calm. It sounds like it fits a similar niche for you as an office, a quiet spot by a pond, or a table at a Starbucks--before COVID and winter. That explains why YOU want to be somewhere else for a few hours each day, even if your wife weren't in the picture. Many working adults feel the same way. What about dinner? What about bedtime? Do you prefer being alone then, or telling your kids a story and tucking them in? If you prefer their company, what keeps you from sleeping at home?
