Michael Wade examines places where you achieve more work.

It is obvious that where we work can affect how we work. Consequently, we need to learn which settings are best. A certain oddness may come into play. I've found that my home dining room table is ideal for some projects and not for others. The reason why has not been discovered but I suspect it may have to do with its height and width as well as the nice amount of light from some French doors.

Our den at home is a place for adults only. It's really just a second sitting room and office but I always find it a great space for working. Minimal distractions and clutter.

The main reason people don’t try to do work they love, don’t even look for it, is because they don’t think they’re good enough. That’s hogwash. We’ve been bamboozled and hornswoggled into believing we are insufficient, that it’s scary to fail, when neither is remotely true.

I'll be honest here, I'm not a very confident person and that is perhaps why I face the freelance career with a sense of trepidation. It hasn't helped that in the last two weeks I've been unsuccessful in a few job applications. It's only a few however, at least it's not hundreds.

The bottom line: pick a few things to do well, do them, and don’t quit.

Great advice from Adam Keys.
