A couple of days each week, I ferry my son to his preschool, where he stays and plays for five hours or so.

It's some of the only time each week I get to myself, and I usually use it to get as much work done as quickly as possible, all while I have the space, energy and quiet to focus.

Home, as I've found out, isn't always the best place to do this. It's easy to get distracted by neglected cleaning duties, personal phone calls and making oneself an elaborate lunch that neither my husband nor my son would eat in a million years.

So sometimes, it's best to do the work-at-home thing somewhere - anywhere - else than home. Here, in no particular order, are a few Tulsa-area spots I hit up when I'm craving an office without walls.
