I'm a filmmaker and you know, almost all of my life I've worked at home and I believe in working from home.

And I'm making this video clip to help others who are curious about how to do that or who have asked me as my subscribers have.

How you're working from home and why you working from home?

Well, first of all, my dad was an artist and he worked in a little studio at home.

And I got to love the idea of the studio, the place to go where you do your creative stuff.

That's where I am right now in my studio.

I'm hopefully not interrupted by Children or by the outside.

I just kind of think and shoot these videos.

I believe in working from home because I believe you get more done.

I mean, the travel time these days when I'm going over to Silicon Valley, that's hell.

That's an hour and 1/2 coming an hour and half going home.

stop ago until Eli Musk makes a car that actually works that I could use.

So working from home has the advantage of more time.

It has the advantage for many people of being more creative.

You can work according to your own internal biological clock.

So one of the things I advise is know your biological clock.

For me, my most creative writing time is before breakfast, When you see the dark or just gone early morning is when my mind is just spinning.

I tell my wife these ideas when she wakes up, which he does not appreciate because she's not a morning person.

She needs to have her coffee gettinto life before she engages.

I try not to running the door and share everything with her.

Well, I do what I call the heavy lifting.

So when I go to sleep at night, that hard thing is done.

What I'd like to do what I would do if I had all the time in the world.

And I write this bed every morning after breakfast.

I said 15 minutes taking the last days pad.

And let me tell you, the best thing about this whole thing of having an organized schedule every day at own is you're disciplined.

And at night, when you put your head on the pillow, you have this feeling of check check check.

And you know, if you're an office worker, as most of you are, that you're interrupted constantly that half your time is spent in internal meetings, I can't believe that that you spend about half a day really working and the other half today as what we used to say at the water cooler.

You just talking social talk for some people, that's really important.

I like what's going on in my own mind on.

I'm thinking of all of you as I'm talking, but I'm not directly connecting.

It's one of the reasons as a home person, I think a lot of people feel this way.

I have a two minute conversation about a 32nd idea.

So I communicate by a male and female has given me a lot of freedom, as has the cell phone, because it can go out, sit outside when it's warm And, uh, look at my cell phone and see what I want to answer and use dictation on my phone.

If I try and do something highly creative, it isn't gonna work.

Mundane jobs we used to call them fax is you know, I do that send the FedEx package things up.

Whatever I've got to do that doesn't require this just requires these.

And then the evening I have a little spurt and then I'm out.

If you're male, comes in the afternoon, wait till the next morning because the mail, it's filled with what, 50% of the times.

Things I don't want bills under fairness is by the health system fed ex charging me for something they shouldn't so much crap.

I leave it, Sit there, turn the envelope over So I don't see it.

When I get up in the morning after breakfast before I return to my studio, I deal with the mail.

Keep stress is low at times when you're not so good, it's stress.

You know, some people in the workplace think that their energies up all day.

It isn't all the science shows that the biological clock, the circadian rhythm, is really at work all day long, all night long, giving you ups and downs and good times for this and bad times for that.

So I want you to think about being a disciplined home worker.

I knew a writer who sat at his computer screen from 9 to 2 every single day to write, and some days he had one page.

Some days he had 12 pages, but he disciplined himself.

He knew 9 a.m. cup of coffee going into the computer's sitting down no matter what.

Because, ah, home person kind of let things slide if you let things slide, not so good.

And of course, making a living is critical.

And that's certainly a big motivator for me.

If I'm thinking Jim like to go outside today and play and not work, I gotta make a living.
