Stepping up my game (Patreon)

This is not a status update, but a more like a letter of intent.
Many of you will know that I became a freelancer since more than a half a year ago. I took the risk to leave my not-so-badly paid regular job and, even though I'm still working on a contract basis for some old customers, it was a tough decision to make considering I'm the sole provider for my family of four humans and two cats.
I'm not looking back. You people have made possible for both of us, Kuja and me, being able to have prospects of living from this and do what we actually like to do, a fact that is awesome by itself.
However, working at home has revealed to be not so convenient as I thought at first... so I'm going to be honest and say that, even though I'm spending many hours per day in front of the computer, distractions abound in this house. I have two little daughters that make a lot of noise... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Let's just say that Real Life hits harder when you're "available", okay?
So, from next week onwards I'm going to move my computer to a permanent desktop at a nice co-working office, to enhance my focus on development and make a real difference in new versions delivery times.
I should mention that, obviously, that place isn't free of charge, but it isn't an expensive price to pay to take another step into a more professional approach to developing games without messing my personal life, which is happening now that I cannot clearly define bounds between working hours and family.
The main idea behind this is that I work eight productive hours, instead of twelve scattered along the day. Oh, and it would also be awesome to regain a normal sleeping schedule...
Well, I just wanted to drop this before going to bed. Thanks for reading and your support. ^_^
