It's upgrade episode 182. Today's show is brought to you by Anchor, Fresh Books, and Mac Weldon. My name is Mike Curley and I'm joined as always by the wonderful Mr. Jason Snell. Hello Jason Snell.

Hello Mike Hurley, how are you?

I'm very well. Jason, a snail talk question for you this week that comes in from another Michael

Great name great name. Michael wants to know Jason when you're working at home as you do most days.

Yes. Is there a time of day where you switch to using your devices for purely personal use or does everything blurt together?

Everything blurt together?

Everything blurs together, I would say.

I don't have any artificial sort of barriers where I have things that I don't check or do check.

For me, and I think I've talked about this a lot on the Free Agents

podcast that I do with David Sparks, where we talk about being independent

workers. But what for me what has happened is that my device usage has a lot to do and my physical location has a lot to do with my work.

So my anecdote is that Sunday I had to do a little bit of work because I got a message from

Mike Hurley saying that you wanted me to look into the planning document for upgrade.

And I had not set the timer on my heater in the office to be on,

and we've had a cold spell here.

So it was cold out here, and I didn't want to do that.

So I actually got my iPad keyboard and sat on the bed

on Sunday morning trying to do my work that I usually do in front of my computer at my desk.

It was just a very different thing.

And I realized I have really compartmentalized my workspace to the point where I'm sitting there trying to work on the upgrade notes and

Lauren is talking to me.
