I can office from home due to my agency's space issues. And I too struggle to stay focus. I find myself being able to work from home somedays very well and somedays I have to drive to the agency to find a place to work so I can focus. It really depends on the day, task, etc. One thing I love about working from home is the flexibilty because I don't have to work strictly between 9-5. I am productive when working from home because I can decide when to work. So if a work itch happens at 8pm, I can work then when that energy pops up. Are you able to work whenever? Do you have other distractions like spouse or children around? I do and it took me a long time to get them to understand that when I'm in my office, I'm NOT here!
Depends on your home set-up, if you are able to set aside a space for SW stuff. I find that's the only way I can work from home. Also, what are their expectations with this arrangement? I like coming in to break my day, but I also detest being in one place for long periods of time LOL. Can you work from a tropical island with expenses taken care of? :P

ReplyDeleteThanks for responding. The biggest part of my job is writing extensive treatment plans for clients, so I can do that from anywhere at anytime.
ReplyDeleteIf I work from home, usually DS/DH may be around. If I decide to do this more, I will probably have to work after DS/DH go to bed.
I also personally enjoy being in the office sometimes for the social interaction piece.
Plus, I would stay off the internet then LOL.

ReplyDeleteI only occasionally work from home, but wish I could more! Maybe if I did I'd have some tips for you :)
