first 100% work from home day today

did it for a few hours today

I tried, but ended up drinking a 12 pack instead.

I put in about half an hour worth of important emails so it was like half a days work.

I was supposed to get some shite done, ended up billing something 3 hours that would normally take me about an hour

I work 100% from home. Been doing it for 4.5 years now.

I like it because I hate going to an office. I still communicate with my teammates all day long via Lync.

I never really spend money on fast food. No traffic. Very little gas money.

Wife and kids don't distract me anymore. They used to think because I was home, they could bother me whenever. That shite stopped real quick.

Enjoy man. More and more people will be working from home in the coming years.

Went very well. 0 distractions. Will be doing this 100% come March/2014. I thought I would get bored too easy, but this went quite well.

Its easy for a day, or even a couple of weeks, but you won't be even close to as productive as you would be at an office long term.

I do a half day on the road checking on my contractors and half the day in my home office. I love it, other than on days like today when everyone else is off.
Here is a thread with some good suggestions: LINK

I did it today. Got nothing done. Didn't even start until 3. Then got the news we weren't going in tomorrow either. Shut the computer down the instant I got the email I could never do this.

Anyone else doing this at the moment? Any tips? Thanks

I've worked from home for 3+ years now. There are studies showing that employees are more productive at home....don't have to participate on all the office jibber jabber bullshite. I love it, mostly. Gets old by about Thursday each week when I am in my house all the time though.
