I’m with the author. I get way more done when there are signs of life around. When I’m the only one in the office I don’t like it, but I equally dislike working in teams.. not the concept, it’s just rare that you get the right dynamic and palate of skills.

I didn’t realize how much I dislike working alone until we had other people in our office.. now when they aren’t here, I notice and I am unmotivated. Perhaps I feed off their energy in an indirect way.

I am a social butterfly, so for critical things I NEED to get done, (like what I’m working on now) I absolutely have to work isolated away from home, like in the corner in a coffee shop that has wi-fi. Then i can air my brain, breathe and thereby concentrate on what I need to do and get it done. Don’t get me wrong, I can work as a part of a team, and I do prefer that, but with my workload increasing, I feel the need to develop my focus so I now steal away in a coffee shop alone, where I’m not being asked to do a lot of shifting things that take my attention away from what I need to do right now. and I do get things accomplished.

Definitely working alone – no distractions. And working out of office hours is even better as there are no calls, or emails, or requests to ‘can you just…’.

I much prefer working alone, if I have some general research or blogging to do, then I might go to the cafe just as a change of scenery, but if I’m working then I have to do it in silence.

Other people are pretty irritating I find!

I thought I mostly enjoyed working alone and have for many years now. My husband has quit his corporate job a few months back and teamed up with myself and my business. I really believed it was going to be a nightmare (you know, working AND living together)…however, it has actually been a godsend. I was losing focus and desire for what I was doing and he has ignited a new fire under my belly. Now between the two of us we can take our business to the next level. For some reason this IS working.

I find myself productive only when I work alone, that too at night times. I’ll get distracted easily.

At the same time, to get some creative ideas I would like to be with my friends / colleagues. I chat with them on the topic to grasp / evolve new concepts.
