View from Lounge, 2014
I have decided to refer to my writing room/office as my lounge. It somehow removes pressure. The difference between saying I'm going into the office and I'm going to the lounge is immense.
You see, I sometimes need to play psychological games with myself to make things happen. It is what it is. It's like my dad says, is it really a placebo if it works?
Lounge. It's a good word. Say it. Did your mouth form a sly little Rat Pack smile? You know it did.
Yes. I formed a Rat Pack smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration. I think I'll start calling my office my Lab. Lab. It's a good word. Do you imagine a white lab coat and beakers? Perhaps something on fire?
I see it! Weird Science is playing in the background.
DeleteLouuuunnnge. I am already in the zone. Currently ny office also happens to be in ny bedroom, but going from night to day and from room to lounge is going to so exciting! I needed this change in location (mental location)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is going to be such a great day, for both of us ; )
Deletei guess it probably helps that your room actually looks like a lounge:) i´ll call my office the "white room" now - because it is and it has such a calming effect, colour and name.
ReplyDeletethank you - as always!
Cheers to a calm space for creativity.
DeleteI call my office "my perch"--a little room between 2 floors that was known as a sleeping porch long ago. High up, it has a wall of window looking out over the backyard. It can get loungey in here, in a treehouse kinda way.
ReplyDeleteA treehouse kind of way. Excellent.
DeleteI love it. Can I steal it?
ReplyDeleteSteal using the word? Of course!
DeleteA simple word can so change our perspective. I love the quote of your dad. Lounge it is!
ReplyDeleteDad is always saying something memorable ; )
DeleteYour Dad must be a very wise man, Denise :)
ReplyDeleteHe has his moments ; )
DeleteNow every time I say the word lounge I will have to laugh. Your dad is right.
ReplyDeleteThe more excuses for laughing the better.
DeleteI'm loving this idea. I say office. Or sometimes the sunroom (which is what it was before I hijacked it for my working space and put a desk and chair in). But I do more reading in there than actual work, it seems, though it's all related I suppose. But lounge? Covers everything! Love it.
ReplyDeleteReading in the sunroom certainly works for me.
Deletewe need these tricks, like water.

Yes I did the Rat Pack smile :) And I like your Dad's way of thinking...
