I gladly got my own office, so closing the door and telling the collegues not to forward phone calls really sometimes makes my day.

You need to take a break. Some have the tendency to spend hours at a time on their computer. Exercise is another way to take a short break.

You’re right — working from home isn’t for everyone.

Of course easier said than done, but you definitely want to create habits if you are to be productive. Discipline is key. Of course depending on what you do. Chris disagrees, and I think he has got a point.

Maybe you should have pointed out this was for people who like to work from home. It’s interesting how easy it can be to assume that people would enjoy working from home. Just not for everyone.

Good post.

A lot of us love working from home or anywhere we want. And a lot hate it. Gonna find love/hate in just about everything in life.

1 and 2 : inapplicable. My job is to answer our clients request, I have to check them every 5 minutes or so, and sometimes 5 minutes is already too late.

3,4,5 : OK

6: not possible. When you’re supporting a client, you can’t jus tell him: wait, my timer says it is time for a short break.

7: not possible either. You just can’t tell the other 300 people in the same room to quiet down, especially when they are doing buisiness

I won’t go throw the others, it is the same.

It’s amusing to see that what you try to repress is exactly what is making my job interesting.

I’ll definitly never work from home. It must be really boring :/

It’s boosting my productivity like anything else.
