If the work you do from home is interesting and self-motivation isn't an issue, then fine and dandy. However, if the work is for the most part repetitive, then it can be a struggle. After 12 years at home editing the weddings I videotape on the weekend (I was in an office situation before that - made the change to home when the babies came along), these days I find it all rather tedious working alone.
The pantry is my greatest nemisis!
Regards, Matt B
PS. I did get a motorbike recently for local erands to break up the monotony of the day. So far so good, and less than 4 litres per hundred kilometres to boot!
I would love to have some repetative task that could be accomplished at home. Something I don't have to think too much on, so I don't get stressed. A pay for performance system, where you get paid per X amount of data entered, etc would be fantastic for me. While I can telework every week out of the month, I usually do it one week a month, as face to face interaction is beneficial in what I currently do. With a data-entry type position, it wouldn't be necessary at all. I'm building a new home that is in the middle of practically nowhere. After it is completed, I plan on working from home 3/4 of the time, as the commute would be quite terrible.
