I TALK to MYSELF in this ROOM

“Time flies so fast.” It has been seven years that I used to talk to myself in this living room in Tajikistan. In short, I created my own office and planned to accomplish my medical mission. A place where I can hear the echo of my own voice and tried to find ways making solutions. It was a tough situation to live all by myself. But then, I took advantage to escape the busy life in the Philippines and learned to do things with the local people around and copy what they do. Now, I am back to my homeland and have my own office in the house. It is always a place for me to plan for my future. “Do you have your own office in the house?” Image Credit: Shavkat

I think I can also do that, too. If I still have my lappy, I will work anywhere.

Most houses here in Australia have a room they call the study which is basically the home office... We have that too and my husband is using it more than I do .. I have my studio that serves as my office also...

I had seen houses abroad do have their study room. I do think it is an ideal thing to have.

@Shavkat Shavkat glad you are back in your homeland. I have sort of an office in the room that was originally a bedroom. It also has the TV in here too. There is a couch so can sleep here too. I have my equipment I need to work in here so it is good.

@Hannihar There is no need to do that, my friend. They know that I am busy if my door is being closed.

Now, I have the office in my room. All the things are very accessible. I can work with ease online and no one will dare to disturb me.

My bedroom is my office because I find solace in my room. I can think and be inspired. It is my haven.

At present, I used one of the corners of my room as an office. It is a working station that makes me feel like a boss.lol Honestly, I am the boss of my time.

It is nice to reminisce the past in Tajikistan. I had created my own world here during that time. I hope I can still do the same type of work in the future.

Since I am still in the family house, I am using my room and had created my working area. If we are going to build a new house, I am sure there will be an office.

At this point in time, I had my own office in my room. In time, I can have my ideal office in building a new house. I hope I can see some of your crafts.

@Shavkat When we had no money for bookshelves I sat planks on bricks and made bookshelves that way.

I can also work in any areas or parts of the house. If I need to be alone, I will just be in my working station in a particular room.
