Back when you had that awful office job you were required to show up at work at a certain time, go to a lunch at a certain time and leave at a certain time. When you weren’t coming or going you tried to get your work done, if you weren’t getting interrupted by a time-wasting meeting or a long winded colleague.
If your work became stressful there was little to do to really relieve your stress. It’d be difficult to explain to your boss why you walked out the door and went for a walk. The company bathrooms aren’t, well, the place where’d you prefer to hang out and relax if you had your druthers. You could become the interruptor instead of the interruptee and go annoy some of your colleagues, but that’s not really your style.
If you work at home, you’ve successfully eliminated that commute to and from work and you’ve probably eliminated losing productivity from long winded colleagues. Stuffy, boring meetings are probably little more than a bad memory.
What to do with all that extra time?
Why not take up gardening? Gardeners that work at home enjoy many benefits, including being able to – literally – stop living life so fast that they forget to smell the roses.
Gardening provides many benefits to people that work at home. Home-based gardeners usually have a more beautiful view outside their home office window. When work becomes stressful or one’s mind goes blank, the home-based gardener can take a short stroll out to their garden to smell the roses… plant the roses… watch the roses… fertilize the roses… or cut the roses.
For many people gardening is relaxing, invigorating, even inspiring, and it can be very good exercise. Many people report a stress-relieving sensation simply from getting their hands in dirt. It’s also a great opportunity for home-based workers to get some sun, soak up sun to create Vitamin D and keep a healthy looking skin color.
It matters not what goal you seek,
It’s secret here reposes…
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.

So if you work at home, consider gardening as a way to increase yourproductivity, improve the overall quality of your life, improve the look and value of your property, and ensure that you’ll always be able to take a break for a few moments to smell the roses.
