Start planning your special space. For now, you need to decide whether you’ll work from home or rent office space elsewhere. There are pros and cons to both. Working from home is free — assuming you have room for an office and don’t have to build an addition — and convenient, and gives you a lot of flexibility. You can work around children’s schedules, appliance repair people, deliveries, or other commitments that require you to be home. Of course, distractions are ever-present and you need a lot of self-discipline to ignore them and get on with your work. An advantage of a home office is that you can use a portion of your expenses such as mortgage payments and utility costs as tax deductions. (Of course, you could also write off the cost of an outside office, plus your travel expenses.) If you decide to work at home, make sure your office is quiet and away from the hubbub. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does need to be yours. This is something you’ll probably want to discuss with your family.
