Working from home even just for a day, makes you realize how worthless a physical office is for so many jobs.

I am working from home today. Haven't showered and am still in boxers and a t-shirt. Loving it.

too many beds in my house to work from home. I'd be sleeping most of the time.

Right. And I'm "working" at the office.

I do and Mondays are usually slow for me so no big deal but by Wednesday I am usually thinking how much more organized I would be in an office. Too many distractions at home sometimes. As business grows it has me thinking of renting some space and adding another assistant. I have one now that also works from home but having one in an office at your disposal can't be beat.

Some don't have the discipline to work at home. I don't for sure.

I have work from home flexibility, but generally go into the office every day. That said, I really do prefer working from home. During downtime you can still be productive with household upkeep, chores, etc. I actually spend more time on TD when I'm in the office.

I've read that if you work from home you should still get dressed for business, so you don't feel so comfortable and lazy.....that said, when I work from home it's in house shorts and a cozy tshirt rather than "work wear" and I do just fine in the "not getting too lazy" department.

I've tried it. I was in the top 5 in the post count list every week.

What job do you have that allows you to work from home?

yep , it's a lot harder to be productive sitting at home in your pajamas.

I'm sure not. There's no way I would even attempt working from home if I had family there.

I typically work from home ~3 days per week. It really depends on when I have face to face meetings. I probably get more work done at home, when I'm in the office co-workers talk to each other non-stop. It's annoying.

There are benefits to both working environments.

I think this would be my issue, or I'd get really bored and end up stir crazy.

I hate it. Sure it's nice to roll out of bed, cook breakfast, wear shorts, run errands if necessary, and in general have a pretty relaxed workday, but I would prefer to be in an office. I'm also doing this as my first job out of college. I miss the interaction and idea sharing of being around other people. Could definitely see how it would suit someone more established.

I often times find myself at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble just to get out of the house.

Wondering if working from home would have the same effect as being home schooled. Seems like your social skills would suffer.
