Shake Things Up
One of the dangers of web working is that of getting stuck in a rut.
Not that people working in traditional settings aren’t also affected by this professional pitfall.
In fact, web workers are probably better off than most because more decisions about how and where we work are generally left up to us.
Even so, it’s important to change up your routine every now and again.
My latest shift has taken me out into the community, not for a coworking solution, but for a sort of rediscovery of the place in which I live, with my professional life along for the ride.
I got a couple of inexpensive memberships to local museums, including the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
It’s a lot cheaper than renting office space or splitting on a coworking venue, a lot more interesting than Starbucks, and I’m free to loiter without shame for as long as I want.

I love the idea of heading to a different setting. And if that location has a computer, you won’t even need to haul along a laptop – especially if you sign up for a free account at GoEverywhere (currently in beta). You can upload files, documents, and access a variety of software and websites, with just one login! Makes it easier than ever to head over to the museum.
