Last year I had my second child in as many years and decided to make a drastic career change. Secure in the knowledge that my husband made enough income to help facilitate such a transition, I took a few months off work to stay at home with the kids. As much as I relished catching every moment of my young children’s development – and capturing many of them on film for posterity – something was missing.

My natural ambition began to manifest itself, and before long I had my mind back on business during my parenting “off hours.” I bought a no-frills, affordable Acer notebook online and set up a home office from which to operate my home-based business. Now when I become engrossed in my work and my husband is home, I have him deal with the kids. Everything you’ve heard about telecommuting is true – it’s easy and convenient to the extreme.

Like many college students, I’m something of a procrastinator when it comes to homework, research papers and presentations. If a given project is has the potential to make or break my grade, I might spend a few days on it, but I just can’t bring myself to start a week ahead of time. Lately I’ve become a little better at budgeting my time, but last semester saw a number of close calls.

I almost outdid myself during finals week, when my group waited until the last minute to come up with an English presentation. We finally got together and worked well into the night before it was due, staying awake in the library with the help of chocolate and caffeine. The next morning, we strolled into class with my HP Touchsmart laptop, set up the presentation and proceeded to captivate our classmates. Maybe one day this whole procrastination thing will finally catch up to me, but for now I’ll just accept that I do my best work under deadline pressure.
