MeBox.
With gas prices rising and showing no signs of slowing down, lots of offices are allowing their employees to work at least one day a week from home, eliminating some commuting costs. I, personally, am not a big fan of working from my place. I get easily distracted by things (i.e. kitties, music, my stuff) and have to constantly remind myself about the task at hand. But our office is actually one of many discussing the possibility of working remotely part of the week. Since I’d already had plans to make the third bedroom in my house an office/studio I’ll at least have a place to shut the door and attempt to focus. But this brings up the new issue of having Work-Work things on top of Play-Work things.
I think these MeBoxes might help me differentiate a bit between the two. The ends of each MeBox have a grid of perforated discs that you can punch out to crate initials, numbers, symbols and text. (Really I just want an excuse to buy a few!)

I personally think I would be more productive working one day from home!

June 6, 2008 at 6:15 pmI work from home and its very easy to get distracted- sunny day- OK, I will just take a small walk! On the other hand, you can catch up on off hours if you do enjoy the sun a bit too much! Boxes are cute, but I need my things to be more visual- I would just simply not look in the box and therefore not worry about it!
