During my first couple weeks of doing the Location-Independent thing I've found that taking mini breaks really helps keep me focused. 10-minute breaks to take out the garbage, wash some dishes or throw in a load of laundry really helps me clear my mind. Any of you guys take mini breaks to keep yourself sane while working from home?

When I used to work in the office I took 5+ coffee breaks and spent a good 15 bones a day at the local cafe. At least I'm saving some dough!

I have looked into teaching English overseas as a career... I jut returned to the states from Greece, where many of my friends did just that. Another friend is teaching English at a university in Tokyo and told me that there are good Master's programs that incorporate a more "academic" version of the TOEFL so people can keep traveling and teaching. I will be looking into that as well! Thanks again for the article! 116 weeks ago

Hey group! We've been quiet for some time. What are some new/exciting projects you are all working on these days?
Amanda Christianson: TIFF! Ohmygoodness... did you use them as is or re-draw in CAD? That would add some serious time on the up-front prep work, but probably worth ...MoreTIFF!

But Healthcare is definitely here to stay and offers tons of job stability. Anyone else find themselves changing fields lately, due to economy or otherwise? 107 weeks ago
