If you work from home and have a backyard, you have the opportunity to be home, local company Backyard Office Utah is bringing a solution right to your backyard.
Working from home is the new way of modern life. According to the Pew Research Center, about 22 million U.S. adults work from home full time. While it's incredibly convenient, it comes with its own challenges.
Writing for Houzz, Mike Elgan says, "Unless you're really disciplined and skillful, working from home means you're never completely at work, and you're never completely at home."If you work from home and have a backyard, you have the opportunity to be home — without being in the "home" mindset. Local company Backyard Office Utah is bringing a solution right to your backyard.Their team builds an actual office space in the backyard — and it won't look like a plastic shed from a warehouse store. These stunning structures are built in 30 days and blend in with your actual house.They have a concrete foundation, electrical hookups, as well as heat and AC.So if you're looking for a way to make your work at home a little more separate from your home life, here are a few reasons you should consider putting your office in your backyard.

For example, some people love that they can throw a load of laundry in between meetings or while waiting for that email to roll in.But it's not ideal to work in the laundry room or right next to it. The last thing you want to hear while you're on a video call is your sweatshirt's zipper clanking around in the dryer.Of course, most people don't have the luxury of choosing a space to set up a desk and monitor that isn't already in use. Sometimes all you have left is the nook next to the laundry room or the kitchen table by the noisy dishwasher. Photo: Backyard Office Utah 2. Working from your bedroom isn't good for your mindIt's not that working in your bedroom is wrong, but it's participating in activities that create anxiety or stress in the bedroom that can cause problems. Jessica Borushek, a clinical psychologist, told Apartment Therapy that creating boundaries from one part of your life to the next is essential.When you can create physical barriers between work life and home life, you can transition from emotions and mindsets easier.So instead of climbing into bed and feeling anxious about the work coming due, you can climb into bed with a calm mindset, ready for sleep and relaxation.3.
