While working at home sounds like an ideal lifestyle, the lack of socialization and the overwhelming sense of solitude can be counter-productive.

Ivan: Yes, it is free for all! The most of the bloggers are writing in Sweden, but you could write in English. Check out the hashtag #blogg100.

Awww, now this is a really great article, Ivan. Working alone from home can be rather lonely work. That's why I plan on getting a dog in the very near future. I can't wait to finally have a little companion with me to keep me company while I work. Thanks for writing and sharing this article with the community.

Ivan: I have been fascinated by The Third Place concept (between your home and office) for some time. I am sitting now and then at "small business house" in order take out the loneliness from working at home. I have got to know the owner of the "co-working / business hotel". He recently opened a new place in neighbor county. He is a serial entrepreneur, owning and involved in several startups.

I spent plenty of time at coffee (in my case mostly drinking tea) places, meeting business partners, potential clients, etc. We could have a business meeting in a relaxed atmosphere and doing work at the same time. Today I was participating in a meetup for bloggers involved in a blog challenge (write a new blog post every day, for 100 days #blogg100) and a Foursquare event at the same time, at a new hotel in Gothenburg. This hotel tried a new concept called "Post Office" with a virtual business office at the hotel, post office box, and that you could use the rent cost for services at the hotel, e.g., eating lunches during the month.
