Be Careful What You Ask For
I'm trying to figure out how to self-impose structure now that I've yanked what structure I've had out from under myself. Giving oneself over to an employer delegates structure to them.
I've never thought about when I should get up, when I should work and does it need to be a discrete block of time? A lot of the value I've added over the years has come from ideas that show up while I'm doing something else.
Go ahead and imagine a blank slate.

Work, genealogy research, church volunteer work, TV watching, and napping all take place from the same computer desk in our breakfast nook. We have a conventional TV in the family room but I can see it from the desk. I have a high backed comfy computer chair.
I flit from one project to the next with emphasis on whatever I am supposed to be doing.
I get work calls on the weekends and church calls during business hours so it all balances out.
At times I have VPN, Citrix, Access, 3 Excel windows, 5 Internet windows. Google Earth, Genealogy, and Quicken all open at the same time.
Citrix might have 2 to 5 work applications running.
Structure. We don't need no stinking structure.
