Most of the early houses built in America were suited to farm life, as it was not until cities became manufacturing centers that colonists could survive without farming as their major occupation. Among the earliest farmhouses in America were those built in Plymouth Colony. Generally they consisted of one large rectangular room on the ground floor, called a hall or great room and having a fireplace built into one of the walls, and a loft overhead. Sometimes a lean-to was attached alongside the house to store objects such as spinning wheels, firewood, barrels, and tubs. The furnishings in the great room were sparse and crudely built. Tabletops and chest boards were split or roughly sawed and often smoothed only on one side. Benches took the place of chairs, and the table usually had a trestle base so it could be dismantled when extra space was required. One or two beds and a six-board chest were located in one corner of the room. The fireplace was used for heat and light, and a bench often placed nearby for children and elders, in the area called the inglenook.
The original houses in Plymouth Colony were erected within a tall fence for fortification. However, by 1630 Plymouth Colony had 250 inhabitants, most living outside the enclosure. By 1640, settlements had been built some distance from the original site. Villages began to emerge throughout Massachusetts and farmhouses were less crudely built. Windows brought light into homes and the furnishings and décor were more sophisticated.
As more diversified groups of immigrants settled the country, a greater variety of farmhouses appeared, from Swedish long-style houses in the Delaware Valley to saltbox houses in Connecticut, Dutch-Flemish stone farmhouses in New York, and clapboard farmhouses in Pennsylvania. From Georgian characteristics to Greek revival elements, farmhouses of varied architectural styles and building functions populated the landscape of the new frontier.

Dẫn chứng: Benches took the place of chairs, and the table usually had a trestle base so it could be dismantled when extra space was required. One or two beds and a six-board chest were located in one corner of the room.

Hầu hết các ngôi nhà được xây dựng ở Mỹ đều phù hợp với đời sống nông trại, cho đến khi các thành phố trở thành các trung tâm sản xuất mà người thực dân vẫn có thể sống sót mà không có nông nghiệp như là nghề chính. Trong số những ngôi nhà trên trang trại đầu tiên ở Mỹ là những ngôi nhà được xây dựng ở Plymouth Colony. Nói chung chúng bao gồm một phòng hình chữ nhật lớn ở tầng trệt, được gọi là hội trường hoặc phòng lớn và có lò sưởi được dựng trong một trong những bức tường, và một cái gác xép trên cao. Đôi khi một chái nhà được gắn bên cạnh nhà để chứa đồ vật như bánh xe quay, củi, thùng, và chậu bồn. Đồ đạc trong phòng lớn thưa thớt và được dựng một cách thô kệch. Các tấm lót và bảng ván đã được cắt hoặc xẻ thô và thường chỉ được làm mịn ở một bên. Ghế dài thay thế cho ghế tựa, và bàn thường có một cái chân mễ (để kê phản) để nó có thể được tháo dỡ khi T cần thêm không gian. Một hoặc hai giường và một cái bục sáu tấm được đặt ở một góc phòng. Lò sưởi được sử dụng để sưởi ấm và lấy ánh sáng, và một băng ghế dài được đặt gần đó cho trẻ em và người cao tuổi, trong khu vực được gọi ngách lò sưởi. Những ngôi nhà đầu tiên ở Plymouth Colony được dựng lên trong hàng rào cao để thêm vững chắc. Tuy nhiên, vào năm 1630 Plymouth Colony đã có 250 cư dân, hầu hết sống ngoài khu vực được rào lại. Đến năm 1640, các khu định cư đã được xây dựng cách một khoảng cách từ địa điểm ban đầu. Các làng bắt đầu nổi lên khắp tiểu bang Massachusetts và các nhà trên trang trại đã được xây dựng ít thô kệch hơn. Cửa sổ mang ánh sáng vào nhà, đồ đạc và trang trí tinh vi hơn. Khi nhiều nhóm người nhập cư định cư ở nước này, nhiều ngôi nhà trên trang trại đã xuất hiện, từ các ngôi nhà kiểu dáng dài Thụy Điển ở Thung lũng Delaware đến các nhà theo kiểu saltbox tại Connecticut, các nhà trên trang trại bằng đá Hà Lan ở New York và các ngôi nhà trên trang trại kiểu ván tường ở Pennsylvania. Từ các đặc tính của Gruzia đến các yếu tố phục hưng của Hy Lạp, các ngôi nhà trên trang trại có phong cách kiến trúc đa dạng và các chức năng xây dựng đã tạo ra cảnh quan của biên giới mới.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
