When I first thought of the idea for this blog, it did seem like a pretty good idea. While it certainly was not new, it was something that I really felt was a great idea and something that I wanted to be doing.
You maybe will notice that there has been, even though my keen interest in the topic, quite a gap since I last posted here. This is a resultof a number of different factors, but ultimately it is the direction I was going with this blog was not really what I felt it should be.
The more I read back over some of the posts that I have shared since I started this blog the more it reads like a sales pitch for getting rid of your office. It hardly seems like I have been giving the greatest of examples for how to make the most use of having No Fixed Office. It seems like I have been to a large degree just force the idea on anyone that wants to read.
So this is really not what I wanted, I wanted something that highlighted my experience and such with not having an office. But it turned into something different, which in some cases is what you want to do, just go with the flow and see how things work out. However this is maybe not one of these cases.
I am still not sure if it is something that at this point I want to change in the blog or just drop the idea of being focused on no fixed office, or just use the name for something a little more light hearted and fun. I do have some ideas, but I guess it is something that I have been thinking about for a while and do not really want t just jump into to quickly.
Option 1 – This is basically to leave the blog as is and add more information when I get inspiration. Which to be honest I have not had inspiraton for this topic in months, if not over a year. I did start to put together one or two posts about my equipment again, however this did not really pan out to much.
Option 2 – Change up the whole concept behind the site. There is a few ideas that I have had for a more comical site that may include pictures of strange places to have an office, or just random places I choose to get my laptop out and do some work. Or then it could be something altogeher different just random writings from me or maybe a whole other topic specific that may just fit with the name or be totally unfitting with the name.
Option 3 – I could also consider selling the domain name and maybe even the whole website. There is quite likely someone else or many other people out there that could take the topic and run with it. If you are interested in the potential of purchasing this website please use the contact page and I will get back to you.
Anyway it is something I am going to have to think over and see what the outcome will be. It is something that only time will tell, and while I think option one is the best most inline idea with the original idea, I am thinking that option two may end up being the way that things go.
Why not combine the first two? Do a mix of funny posts, posts relating to where you (and your readers?) get the laptop out and do some work etc AND do the occasional more in-depth post about working with no fixed office when/if the inspiration strikes.
