@Lori - setting yourself up for the zone is super important. It's a topic for a different article, but you must protect your "zone time." This is discussed in a book called "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. But the short version is you have to go off-grid for long stretches at a time to get creative work done. BoldBrush now has an office and approx 10 local employees. I still work from home half the time because producing creative work is still the engine that makes this company run. Most of our employees work from home a fair amount of the time as well. Interruptions kill "the zone", which means they kill "The Maker's High."
