Is Working From Home for You?
Many of my friends who commute to an office each day view my work-from-home lifestyle with envy.
Even my wife, whose office is less than a mile from our house, sometimes seems a tad jealous. Perhaps that's because while she's taking a shower, getting dressed, and doing the things you need to do to work in an office setting, I'm typing away in shorts and a T-shirt on the couch.
Not having to spend time getting ready and not having to drive anyplace are clear benefits of working for home. What my friends and wife don't see is that working from home is not all upside. It's a setup that comes with its own set of downsides, distractions, and problems.
