Recorded words from me.

I think my apathy comes from the lack of people around me. I've tried basically everything: GTD, reorganized my office several times, rented a second flat for office use etc and they all work fine except that I can't overcome being alone. I've been alone for so many years in my life and I just can't stand it anymore.

I started to accept that I'm unable to work from home. Many times I simply unplug my laptop and visit a coffee shop or restaurant, or (less often) catch a train to visit a city in the countryside. Lately I'm trying to reorganize my life to frequently need to travel so that I can work on the go.
I see two more options:
a) find a business partner, which didn't turn out quite well for me until now
b) employ some people, but again, this isn't the kind of relationship I miss from my business and generally my daily life
This coworking project seems to be quite interesting, they also
write a blog. I hope that the mobile worker culture will gain more attention in several years and more coworking spaces will be available around the globe.
