Well, ok, so I am my own assistant but it helps if I pretend I&#8217;m 2 people. When the magazine editor delegates the administrative work to the assistant, that clears the editor&#8217;s desk to focus on the mag. When the assistant&#8217;s work piles up, I sit at her desk and do that job. Being self-employed and working alone, I sometimes have to employ tricks to keep myself motivated.\u00a0I said I wasn&#8217;t going to do it again but I just set up a computer in the living room, this one for tarot and astrology. I try to share space in the magazine office but that doesn&#8217;t work well for me. It&#8217;s too easy to let myself be distracted. I work more inspired when I have dedicated workspaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-get-more-done-when-i-pretend-im-2-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=I get more done when I pretend I&#8217;m 2 people&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-get-more-done-when-i-pretend-im-2-people\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-get-more-done-when-i-pretend-im-2-people\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-get-more-done-when-i-pretend-im-2-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=I%20get%20more%20done%20when%20I%20pretend%20I&#8217;m%202%20people&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-get-more-done-when-i-pretend-im-2-people\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of administrative assistant&#8217;s day, I&#8217;m giving mine the afternoon off.
