Shared (colocated) office space is often $200-300, meaning that the pay-off time for a backyard office can be a matter of months instead of years.
This is a big annoyance (and yet another cause of work-related stress), and so having your own dedicated office will seem like a utopia in comparison. Complete focus/higher productivity: we have all worked in noisy, crowded offices where no matter how hard you try to concentrate, someone’s voice seems to rise above all the other noise and interrupt you (even with headphones on!).Being able to build your office how you like it, and install the technology you require, will ultimately help your business to grow and expand faster. Similarly, you can buy and install the exact technology and IT equipment that you need without needing to fill in a bunch of forms asking for permission to add a server to the office’s network. Ever fancied a dedicated sensory room? Bam, you can have it! Or a soundproofed room for conferences (or simply listening to music when taking a break)? You can naturally build what you want, unlike in a big shared office where you are constrained by whatever has been built already. Just what you want/need: you can design and build your backyard office in the way that delivers exactly what you want from it (within standard zoning codes, though, of course!).
Being able to eliminate this completely is a big benefit in terms of your time, but also your health and bills because you will not be sat in traffic burning gasoline and breathing in other vehicle’s exhaust fumes! This will also lower your stress levels because lengthy commutes and being stuck in traffic is a big cause of stress.
