I live alone and work for myself. Having horrible productivity issues right now. Its a cycle of procrastination and shame. Horrible mindset to have while trying to “create”. Working out hasn’t helped

I totally agree with SAD1. Working in a cafe or in public makes everything so much better. Trust.

When I’m in between freelance gigs I start to feel the same way. It can take a day or 2 weeks for that feeling to creep in. So I spend a few hours at my local coffee shop even if I only need to send a few emails. It helps immensely.

If you work from home 100 percent of the time I’d suggest looking into a coworking space that fits your budget. Socialization is brain food

Thanks everyone! Yes @SAD1 it is in between gigs that this happens. I’m an Art Director/Designer so I like working on my big monitor but I like what you’re saying about just going somewhere to do emails at a coffee shop for a few hours. And thanks for that offer @SM1! But I’m in LA.
