Community Blog: SOHO Haiku

amichalek writes "I've been posting a lot over the past couple of days, but I just can't resist sharing another site I found.

GoinSOHO.com is the website/blog of freelance writer Jeff Zbar. Throughout his site, he gives tips on working from home, and you catch a glimpse of how he's been able to be successful as a Unit of 1 for 16 years.

One of the more amusing areas of the site is his SOHO Haiku. My favorite was:

At home, almost alone
Just me and my dog, Riley:
Loyal canine admin


He also has a nice piece that talks about the evolution of his home office. It's worth a visit.

Making Headway on a Slow Day: 9 Ways to Turn Down-Time into Productivity Time

DGiolitto writes "If you work from home, you know the kind of day I mean. You made the calls. You revised those drafts. You sent out the emails. Where is everybody!? As much as you used to relish a slow day when you were corporate, it's a little different when you're playing boss to yourself. Your mind gets to wandering. Should I head out to the park?
