Working from home has become much more of ‘a thing’ in the past 20 months. Lots of folks who were in the privileged position of transferring their jobs to a spare room or kitchen table, whether temporarily or permanently, have had to come to grips with the costs and benefits of this new way of working.
I’ve been working at home for nearly 20 years now, usually spending just one day per week in the office. As many of us have discovered, home working has advantages, but it also poses many challenges. Which is why, a few years back, I opted for a rented workshop, to help put some distance between home and work life, and to retain a degree of social contact. On top of my editorial duties, I’m also a busy model maker, with numerous projects on the go at once, so space has always been really important.
