And if I'm working in the evening I have to use one of those non-flourescent lights otherwise it drives me mad (sorry environment). I completely agree with the natural lighting!

I have a specific space set up in my house for working and it's always a mess of notebooks, pay stubs and the like. I've got to get it under control one of these days!

I'm actually out on the west coast for a family wedding this week and was able to keep up with clients and publish in between family events, it was awesome! I still have a lot to fine tune (like getting my workspace organized, but it's coming together and the flexibility is amazing! I love freelancing!

I have a big blank wall that I use for sticky notes and some ribbon boards for ideas & clips I want to think about. It's important to me that I have natural light. I can't always work outside but I feel natural light is more soothing and comfortable than artificial light. We have a high desk that you can stand at & work, or sit on bar height chairs.

I can't focus in a coffee shop or other public place, or in my bedroom because all I want to do is sleep, like you. Finding the right kind of location and atmosphere is really important. You make a great point about being organized with any documents and files. Lots of freelancers or those with side businesses don't properly document their income/deductions and they could be leaving money on the table come tax time. CLUTTER! Omg I hate clutter, it totally slows down my mind and my creative juices get completely stopped up. Love this post, thanks for sharing! I am pretty picky about my location of a study/work area too.
