“I wanna work from a beach!”

I’ve heard this all my life from my mom. Now I have my own mantra.

“I wanna work remotely from a beach.”

Maybe I would like to add to that a number and a mission statement, but for now, let’s keep it simple.

If you had the opportunity would you take it?

I live 1 kilometer which is about 1,320 steps to the beach. But I don’t take my work down there.

The beach for me is my sacred playground. I run alone. I like solitude. I try not to answer the phone while running.

But today, before I started running, I got a message that the Show-N-Tell book translator could only talk for the next 10 minutes.

We Skyped and I made some business decisions on the beach. I felt like I was living that mantra: working remotely from a beach. Glad I wore sunscreen today!

I still won’t check messages while running. But maybe just before or after I’ll schedule some working hours down by the beach regularly since it is my dream.

What’s your dream work mantra?
