As interesting as the title is, unless you are a porn star, most of us do not “work naked.” But my friend Lisa Kanarek, has great site by that same name Working Naked that deals with how to be productive when all of the corporate support and “clothing” has been removed. She asked me to do a post for her called Organizing Products We’ll Never See, please check out the post, and then the rest of her site. It is especially helpful if you, as I do, work in a home office.
Working at home has its pitfalls. As much as I enjoy the commute, it has not always been smooth sailing.
When the boys were younger I only had a limited time to get anything done.
There was the Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mr Roger’s, block in the morning; then after lunch nap-time, and following later with the Barney, Blue’s Clues, block in the afternoon.
Allowing for the “Daddy I…” interruptions. (Daddy I need a drink; Daddy I need to go potty, Daddy I want to go outside, Daddy I…) and factoring in my ADHD, all of these blocks together afforded me about six and half minutes of quality work time each day!
Things could get tense around the first of each month, and while I love my children, I also know they like to eat.
So that’s how I came to love church sponsored Mothers Day Out programs.. fortunately they didn’t know I worked naked.

I prefer a sparkly thong and bunny slippers, but naked works too!
At least people stopped coming to the door to sell me crap!

JJ,
I’ll bet the Jehovah’s Witnesses were surprised too.

The only thing keeping that dress up on that blonde is a city ordinance. Darn. I worked at home for several years. My late spouse was convinced, as were my kids, that since I was at home, I was doing nothing and therefore had lots of time to do all these other things for them. Bleah.

Blog Fodder,
Me too! And it still continues. And I’ve worked “naked” for so long I’m not sure I would fit in at an office anymore.

A slightly different take on working naked than the post I wrote about this subject called “Naked Cleaning is Psycho” November 20, 2008. Although my story was an account of working naked literally, the whole concept of how to be self directed and productive outside of the corporate climate is one that takes mastering.

Mayor,
If Working Naked helps you master yor tasks… then more power to you. Just be careful when you answer the door!
