For those that work while RVing such as remote work, self-employed, etc. (i.e. not campground host type jobs) how are you finding your productivity while enjoying the open roads? How many hours of productive work a day do you think you can and should be doing? Are you able to focus? How would you measure your productivity?
After my Air Force days I worked on my software business at home for about 6 years. Productivity was mixed. I finally got an office space, was around other people, my productivity improved 2-3 times as well as I enjoyed the separation between home and work. When working "at home" I found myself rolling out of bed landing at the computer to start work, rolling out of the office chain into bed to end work. It is life consuming running your own business, IMHO. Since I've been RVing a good portion of each year, I just moved out of my office space and moved the office home again. As many know, I have a very nice dedicated office setup in my RV. But there are distractions, a lot of distractions. Distraction 1 - dawg! Distraction 2, the desire and expectation to tour each destination and get the most out of it. It is almost like being back to where I was post Air Force working from home, productivity is challenging. There are numerous other reasons for my dilemma but I'm curious how others are being productive on the road but also taking in what RVing has to offer. My objective when getting the RV was to not do away with working, I love what I do and what I've created, but the goal was having new views out the office window. No need to restrict my life between home and an office as quite frankly being single I did not really do the vacation thing. Work is and was my life, RVing has made "work" more challenging.
So that's my story and my questions for others that work, those that are not retired. I'm not sure I ever want to "retire" as I like having hobbies, my software biz and growing RVF is my hobby.
What's your story, how have things changed for the way you work and how are you measuring up?
