To the previous commenter: Sundays are the busiest day on the internet…Saturdays a little less…It usually starts late Thursday & Friday gets slower…If you need to get work done try it mostly Mondays to Thursday morn…Weekends are full of casual surfers, so get your important internet stuff done before the rush…Kind of like weekend cottage traffic…

I have just finished a two hour session in a coffee shop and I worked my tail off! Thank you for planting the idea in my mind–it seemed so natural to drive here today to do this! My laptop battery is at 10% and the need to made dinner for the family calls…thanks Alyson!

Hi Alyson,
Good post. There is a restaurant that I go to about once a month for breakfast and I sit and the bar with sketchbook in hand. The restaurant is artsy and fun with lots of color and plenty of art on the wall. I can knock out a few sketches, get in a good meal, and converse with the waitress behind the bar and my seatmates. Overall just a pleasant experience and a nice way to start a Saturday morning.

Hmmm, I went to our local coffee shop this morning to buy some coffee beans. I never thought of staying there to write for my color class. I wonder if I would be more efficient…?? I will have to give it a try.

Hi Alyson,
Thanks for this timely suggestion. I went to the coffee shop today and wrote 4 blog entries. That may not seem like a lot, but for me it equals the total number of blog entries ever written, so it was a huge coup! I had no idea how distracted I was by my own studio. The paint, the images, the unfinished work are total attention-grabbers, not to mention the kids and the housework. A coffee shop’s action was just what I needed to get the blogs done, now I need to make it a regular thing. Best, Elaine

What a good idea! I work full time as a customer rep answering the phone all day. I take my sketch book and work on my drawings when it slows down. I also need to get a laptop and try out the coffee shop/cafe. Thanks Alyson for all your great ideas.
