Review of crazy chess::What Does a Story Board Look like







Review of crazy chess::What Does a Story Board Look like








               I               live               in               a               one-bedroom               apartment               with               five               people.

Five.

How               did               this               happen?

Long               story.

At               any               given               moment,               there               is               a               TV               blaring               Two               and               a               Half               Men,               a               string               of               rat-tat-tats               from               Call               of               Duty               in               the               next               room,               phones               going               off               with               text               after               text               after               text,               cats               fighting               (oh,               I               didn't               mention               we               have               two               cats?),               and               don't               even               get               me               started               on               the               cacophony               of               terrible               music               blasted               by               our               neighbors               who               can't               seem               to               remember               the               after               10pm               rule.

It               can               be               a               struggle               of               Charlie               Sheen               proportions               to               get               any               work               done               in               this               house               (never               mind               score               the               TV               for               a               little               while),               but               I               have               found               a               zen.

If               you               also               suffer               from               There               Are               Too               Many               People               Living               In               My               House               disorder,               I               have               the               cure.
               Block               out               a               specific               time               to               work.

If               I'm               working               at               home,               I               write               in               the               morning               (if               I'm               not               scheduled               for               my               part-time               job               that               day).

Usually               two               of               us               five               aren't               even               home,               and               everyone               else               is               still               asleep.

If               nighttime               gives               you               more               quiet               time,               utilize               that.

I've               learned               that               fighting               against               the               natural               craziness               of               my               house               is               futile,               so               using               that               quiet               time               lets               me               get               a               lot               done               that               I               wouldn't               ordinarily               be               able               to.
               If               you               are               like               me               and               have               a               day               job,               make               sure               you               are               setting               aside               X               amount               of               your               free               time               to               work               on               your               freelance               projects.
               Get               out               of               the               house.

Run,               if               you               have               to.

If               you               can't               work               out               of               your               house,               find               a               nearby               coffee               shop,               diner,               book               store,               or               even               hotel               lobby               to               camp               out               at.

I've               spent               many               hours               writing               at               the               university               forty-five               minutes               from               my               house,               or               the               community               college               in               my               city.

(If               you               do               this,               though,               just               be               careful;               they               may               have               strict               visitor               policies.

I'm               an               alumni               of               my               community               college,               so               I               tend               to               get               away               with               it.)               The               coffee               shop               down               the               street               from               my               house               houses               chess               tournaments,               tutoring,               dates,               Pokemon               matches,               and               now               they               house               my               office               on               occasion.

You               could               even               storm               a               friend's               living               room.

(Tip:               Bring               cookies,               or               coffee.

The               natives               will               be               more               welcoming               that               way.)
               Make               time               for               other               things.

When               you're               your               own               boss,               it               can               be               easy               to               fall               into               the               trap               of               working               even               in               your               sleep               (or               during               other,               more               intimate               moments).

You               may               feel               resentful               toward               your               housemates,               even               if               they               aren't               purposely               disturbing               you.

There               have               been               times               when               I               felt               angry               toward               my               fiance               or               a               friend               for               wanting               to               take               me               somewhere               other               than               in               front               of               my               computer.

"The               novel               isn't               going               to               write               itself,"               I'd               grump.

Sometimes               I               still               get               wrapped               up               in               my               work,               but               I've               learned               that               it's               important               to               do               things               other               than               work.

Set               a               weekly               date               night               alone               with               your               spouse,               and               another               date               night               with               your               friends.

Play               video               games               or               read               a               book.

Make               sure               you               are               nurturing               your               relationships               and               your               soul.
               And,               if               all               else               fails...
               Invest               in               a               good               pair               of               noise               canceling               headphones.

Or               ear               plugs.

Sometimes               I               even               consider               taking               my               laptop               out               to               my               car.

If               you               absolutely               must               work               from               home               and               suffer               from               There               Are               Too               Many               People               Living               In               My               House,               put               those               headphones               in               and               turn               on               the               music               of               your               choice.
               Since               I've               started               following               these               rules,               I've               noticed               a               huge               increase               in               my               productivity               (and               less               tension               in               my               neck               and               shoulders).

You               too               can               recover               from               There               Are               Too               Many               People               Living               In               My               House.

The               laundry               still               won't               do               itself,               but               you'll               feel               a               lot               better               both               when               you               sit               down               to               start               working               and               when               you're               not               working.
