There are too much advantages to be a SOHO than sit in an office, but there are disadvantages too.
To me, for example, I don't know where should I start to describe my working condition. Generally, there are two cats, two dogs, and a flock of fish and lots of birds chirp incessantly. Sometimes, cars roaring through with extremly annoying songs of buffo on the audio, but these are not the worst. What makes me unendurable is the over-alerted dog which would bark incessantly when I make noise a little bit louder. There are a lot of times when I was recording a podcasting or a clip of vedio, it would bark somehow, which made me to repeat to record agaian and again. Sometimes, it would barking crazily for couple of minutes just because someone is knocking the door. . There's a sequence of days, I can't finish my media job. Besides, there are some others interferences such as the clamorous frequent visiting. I have to learn to work in such circumstance, no other way.
actually, I feel lucky for my house is located in a quieter place in the city. I can walk to the forrest when I feel the noise in house is unbearable.
If your working conditon is noisy too, then the tips below may be helpful:
1, work in basement.
obviously, it's not adapted to everyone. If you have the condition, then try. First set up a Wireless Router (with stable signal connection, of course), then when you think the noise is annoying, take your notebook and "runaway".
2 go to the coffees
It sounds crazy, isn't it? There are someone who do work freely in a certain noisy environment. For example, I like to work while listening to music, but as long as someone is talking--no matter in TV or real life--I feel annoying.Someone particularly like the condition of coffees.(Actually, when I was writing a novel, I perfer to walk out to some public places such as restrant, coffees or stations where I can get some dialogs to bulid characters in novels.)
3, go to the library
recently, college libraries are not such quiet places, but public libraries keep its own tranquility. Of course, college libraries will be a good choice to do researches for there are a plenty of materials including expensive periodicals. If you are a college student or alumnus, you can probably get in touch with these materials.
4 put on your earphones
Sometimes I found it's necessary to put on earphones when working in my college library. You can do it at home as long as the music won't disturb you. Of course, you should make sure which kind of music makes you ease and effient.
5 use a white noise generator
I perfer to use software of white noise generator. it's not free, but it's worth the money.I use the NPP version( Neuro-Programmer Professional). I can choose duration and types of waves (alpha, beta, theta, etc.) If choose the right waves, it relaxes me without lulling me into sleep.
6, buy a load of eggs
egg shells are, actually, perfect material for sound insulation, especially the side without foam. If you can stick some of the shells on the wall, or just nail them, the environment will be very quiet. If you are playing guitar and feel dreary or non-inspirational, this method may help you.
7 list things you have to do
You can consider the task management system or some other ways to list all you have to do.These methods don't need high attention. After all, when you indeed cannot do some worthy things, you may finish others. Try to list things when you feel most annoyed, sending a email, issuing an invoice or just babbling.
8 adjust the time
as a SOHO, a re-refered advantage is you work flexibly. Everytime I have to podcast or do voiceover, I adjust the time to leave the quietest period for the jobs. For me, it's not a piece of cake, you know, I am distubed almost everytime!
9, blend into them if you cannot avoid them.
If the noise or other interferences are too loud and strong, then take a rest! Listen to music,watch films, or walk outside, do something else.
Ok, then, my dear readers, how do you overcome the interferences when you work at home?
呆在家里當(dāng)一個自由職業(yè)者比在坐辦公室里做一個上班族，好處要多得多。但是，它也有它的不好之處。
比如說我在家中工作的環(huán)境，我簡直都不知該從何談起，但至少粗略來說，這里有兩只貓、兩條狗、一群魚兒和許多唧唧喳喳個不停的小鳥。偶爾，還會有汽車呼嘯而過，車載音響里播放著極為吵鬧的男低音演唱聲。但這些都還不是最糟的，最讓我難以忍受的是那只警惕性過度的小狗，只要我的聲音稍微大了點它就會狂吠不止。很多時候，在我記錄一段播客或者視頻的聲音片段時，它就會莫名其妙的叫了起來，使得我不得不一遍又一遍的重復(fù)記錄。甚至只要有人敲門，就會使它瘋狂至極的狂吠上幾分鐘。噢，天啊，這真是太沒天理了！連續(xù)好幾天，我都沒完成幾項多媒體工作。
此外，還有很多其他的干擾，包括頻繁來訪的賓客，他們總是吵吵鬧鬧的。但是沒辦法，你必須學(xué)會在這樣的環(huán)境下工作。 其實我覺得自己還是很幸運的，畢竟我住的地方還算是城里比較安靜的部分，當(dāng)覺得家里實在太鬧而不堪忍受時，還可以去森林里散散步。
如果你的工作環(huán)境也比較嘈雜，那么以下幾條小帖士可能會對你有所幫助：
1、在地下室里工作
顯然，這個辦法并不是人人適用的，不過如果你有這個條件，那就不妨一試。先建立一個無線路由器（當(dāng)然了，要有穩(wěn)定的信號連接）， 然后當(dāng)你覺得家里其他地方都太吵時就可以帶著筆記本電腦“逃之夭夭”了。
2、去咖啡吧
這主意聽起來很瘋狂，不是么？但是確實存在這種人，他們在某些喧鬧聲中可以過得很自如，但在別的噪音中就不能。比如說，我就喜歡邊聽音樂邊干活，但只要有人說話——無論是在電視里還是在現(xiàn)實生活里——就會讓我覺得很煩躁。而有些人則恰恰對咖啡吧的環(huán)境情有獨鐘。（其實，當(dāng)我在寫小說時，我也會走出家門去一些公共場所，比如說餐館、咖啡吧或者車站，因為在這些地方我可以捕捉到一些現(xiàn)實生活中的對話用來塑造小說中的角色。）
3、去圖書館
這些日子以來，大學(xué)圖書館已經(jīng)變得不是那么安靜了，不過公共圖書館仍然靜謐如常。當(dāng)然了，如果你能夠忍受嘈雜的話，那么大學(xué)圖書館仍不失為一個做研究的好地方，因為那里有大量的研究資料，包括一些在其他地方會很昂貴的期刊。如果你是在校大學(xué)生或者大學(xué)的校友，那么你就很可能接觸到這些資料。
4、戴上耳機
我發(fā)現(xiàn)有的時候，當(dāng)我在我大學(xué)的圖書館里工作時，戴耳機甚至成了一種必須，只有這樣才能減弱下交談的聲音。在家里工作時也能這樣做，只要音樂聲不會打擾到你。當(dāng)然了，你必須弄明白哪種音樂能讓你不感到干擾，并富有效率。
5、使用白噪聲發(fā)生器。
我比較傾向于使用軟件版的白噪音發(fā)生器。它是要收費的，但我確實覺得物有所值。我使用的是NPP版（神經(jīng)訓(xùn)練專業(yè)版）。使用者可以自由選擇聲波的持續(xù)性和種類（α、β、θ等）。如果聲波選擇正確，那么它就能使我全身心放松，而同時卻不會讓我感到昏昏欲睡。（白噪聲是指功率譜密度在整個頻域內(nèi)均勻分布的噪聲。一般，只要一個噪聲過程所具有的頻譜寬度遠遠大于它所作用系統(tǒng)的帶寬，并且在該帶寬中其頻譜密度基本上可以作為常數(shù)來考慮，就可以把它作為白噪聲來處理。例如，熱噪聲和散彈噪聲在很寬的頻率范圍內(nèi)具有均勻的功率譜密度，通?？梢哉J(rèn)為它們是白噪聲。當(dāng)你需要專心工作，而周遭總是有繁雜的聲音時，就可以選用這兩種聲音來加以遮蔽。）
6、買一大堆雞蛋。
有幾種帶蛋殼其實是極好的隔音材料，尤其是沒有泡沫的那一面。如果你能在你工作地方的墻上粘上一些這樣的蛋殼，或者干脆把它們釘在墻上，那么你的工作環(huán)境會變得很安靜。如果你是在聯(lián)系吉他彈奏，而又覺得沉悶無趣或者靈感枯竭，那么這個方法可能也會對你有所助益。
7、列出必須要做的事
或許你可以考慮采用任務(wù)管理系統(tǒng)，或者一些別的什么方法來列出必須要做的任務(wù)清單，而這些方法都并不需要很高的專注度。要知道，當(dāng)你覺得備受干擾，實在無法做出什么有價值的工作時，你其實也可能已經(jīng)完成了一些別的事情。不妨試試在你覺得一天中最嘈雜的一段時間里來清點清點這些事吧。你可能發(fā)了一封郵件，開了一張發(fā)票，甚至可能是喋喋不休地講了一堆廢話。
8、調(diào)整工作時間
作為自由職業(yè)者，有一個被人再三提及的好處就是，至少你可以比較靈活的安排工作時間。任何時候，只要我有播客或者視頻的旁白工作要做，我總會盡量去調(diào)整做別的事情的時間，以便于把一天中最安靜的時間留下來完成這項工作。對我而言，這可是一個不小的挑戰(zhàn)，你要知道，我這里從早到晚幾乎是干擾不斷??！
9、如果你不能克服干擾，那就融入它們吧
如果噪音或者其他干擾的強度實在太高了，那干脆就休息休息吧！聽聽音樂，看看電影，或者走出家門，辦點別的事兒。
那么，各位讀者，當(dāng)你們在家里工作時，你們又是怎么克服干擾的呢？
