So my last post seemed a little empty, here's are some add ons for you.Things you might want to try:[1] empty a room in your house and make it your dedicated office--paint or wallpaper it just like your old office--same stuff on the walls, etc...[2] Put in a desk like you had when you were working--spend the money to get what makes you feel productive.[3] Get a very comfortable desk chair you can sit in for hours a day.[4] It's COVID time, so use ZOOM to make some calls when you would normally meet in person.[5] If you're a drinker, put a mini-bar in your office so you stay put there vs going to the kitchen for a beer and getting side tracked.[6] When you're burnt out on a task, have some kind of fallback use of your time, such as reading an ebook about the business.[7] Eat breakfast everyday before going into the office and take a lunch break (if you are non-COVID afraid then go out for lunch 5 days a week).[8] Make the office your daily base of operations vs just your home.[9] Make a Vision Board on Excel.[10] If a computer CRM is not your friend--buy and use a Roldex from ebay.Just my 2 cents.

Obviously I like where I am a lot, tech and support are key for me, but advice you get on the internet does not always translate to your local and personal situation, because the people in your particular local office make all the difference!

If the inspection was done prior to December 2020 you might want to call the town office and get a new walk trough inspection, don't ask how I know...You should be able to schedule it at the code enforcement's office without having to pay the $250 fee since the permit is still valid.
