Working From the Park or Playground with Your Laptop

|
Now there is an ingenious way for those
of you who have been tied to your home desktop computer to
be able to get out of the house and work virtually anywhere.
Working from the park or playground
with your laptop has given work-at-home moms the opportunity
not only to spend time with the kids outdoors, but to fully
take advantage of this new age of wireless technology.

Imagine a beautiful spring day and the kids are
becoming a bit antsy because they want to go out and play. At the
same time, you are trying get some work done but nature seems to be
calling to you to come outside and smell the roses. With a wireless
laptop, you can achieve both. Perhaps you call a friend and her kids
to come along with you. In this way, you can work on your project
while the friend watches the kids.
Conversely, you may have to work on a Saturday to meet a specific
deadline. While your spouse watches the kids, you steal away to the
park; find a shady tree you can sit under; and with nothing but the
quiet sounds of nature, you can complete the task at hand.
If you choose a playground to take the kids to, you can sit at one
of the many benches with tables and work as well. With so many
parents at the playground, some of whom you may know, keeping an eye
on your kids may offer you a little more time to concentrate on your
task.
In either case, whether you are alone or with your kids, once the
work is completed you can enjoy the spring weather; have a picnic
lunch at the park or engage in playground activities with the kids.
The ability to take work with you to either the park or playground
not only gets you out of the house and away from the computer
desktop, but allows you to spend quality time with the kids as well.
In fact, it also gives you time to exercise and have some fun at the
same time.
