My office lease is currently up for renewal.
And I'm not sure whether I'm going to go ahead and renew it...
Approx 5 years ago, when I took on the office, it felt like a necessity. To look professional.
I'd been working from home for the first 4 or so years of my business but as Zoom calls etc started to become more prevalent (even before covid), I felt a bit amateur with my home office background. Especially when everyone else seemed to be based in sleek corporate offices.
Now I struggle to think of the last time I did a virtual meeting with anyone in an office. I seem to be the only one! It's a complete 180!
The other factor that pushed me into taking on an office was that our Internet speed at home was abysmal. Now, thanks to Starlink, my home speed is faster than in the office.
So the factors against renewing my lease are starting to stack up in favour of saying no. And going back to my home office.
Plus, I worked from home today and this allowed me to squeeze in an extra walk in the fresh air with my dogs. Something I can't do when I'm in the office.
I think my decision is made!
